I am only 46 and i drink plenty of water and my skin is getting drier everyday. what can i do to put moisture back?

Moisturizer: Drinking water is great for the body but does not treat dry skin alone. Apply moisturizer to skin morning and night, especially after showering/baths to trap the water in your skin. Additionally, use mild cleanser instead of strong soaps, avoid cleansers with alcohol, consider a humidifier ;a facial exfoliating cream. If moisturizing does not help, see your md to rule out other causes of dryness.
