Are you using hot water to shower? That's the worst enemy of dry skin in winter, same thing was happening to me until I lowered the temperature. Besides lukewarm water, you need a really dense moisturizer (like vaseline or oils) to seal in the moisture right after you get out of the shower, don't wait for it to dry. In my case I also put a humidifier in the bedroom because heated air just destroys your skin, and that combo made a pretty big difference.

Thanks, good info. I'm going to try the lukewarm water and the humidifier, that makes sense.
What really works is keeping your skin hydrated from the inside and outside: drink plenty of water throughout the day and use a thick moisturizing cream right after you shower, while your skin is still a bit damp. In winter especially avoid very hot water in the shower because it dries your skin out more, and if you have heating in your home put a humidifier in your room because dry air is enemy number one. Some people also notice that switching to a gentler soap or just using less product helps a ton.
