I have a very dry skin...how to make it smooth and healthy looking?

Dry skin: To improve dry skin: 1. Eliminate all dyes and fragrances from all products touching your skin, including laundry detergent, fabric softener, soaps, etc. 2. Wash with mild soap like cetaphil bar or dove for sensitive skin - no washcloth or sponge. Use warm (not hot) water 3. Apply fragrance-free moisturizing cream (not lotion) to slightly damp skin 4. Use humidifier during winter months.
