Look at diet: Look at external things like detergents that can aggravate skin. But most often it can be a food allergy or nutritional deficiency. I recommend looking into omega 3 fish oil and vitamin d. Also, to moisturize skin, use a cream and not a lotion. Lotions are water based and dry it out more.
