I have really dry and flaky skin. i use a moisturer everyday after a shower but it's not making any difference. what should try?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Try Body Wash : Use a body wash (dove, olay, etc.) in the shower instead of soap. Do not make the water too hot. Try different moisturizers, i.e., those with ammonium lactate (amlactin over the counter, lachydrin (lactic acid) prescription - same thing). If affordable, whole house humidifier.
