Why is my whole body flaking skin off now that i am older?

Dry skin: As you get older your skin gets drier. To combat this do the following take short showers that are not so hot. Only use soap in armpits and groin use a cream not a lotion moisturizer every night if you have no plans during a weekend skip taking a shower-your skin will thank you for that.
