I have very dry skin. For my face I use Eucerin Q10 anti wrinkle but I dab a bit of vasaline over it.
For years I use only vasaline on my face.
For over all body I use vasaline intensive care lotion.
Have you visited a dermatologist? You might need a perscription medication. It might be only until your nose clears and then maybe something less strong can be used for maintenace.
Now that you got me thinking, I do use lacthydran for my feet. Tis is perscription and I put it on after my shower and I also use a pumice stone in the shower. Preventive and maintenance.

I have Sjogrens syndrome plus a few other autoimmune disorders that causes my skin to get really dry and flaky, I have used everything including prescription stuff, but I recently purchased Johnsons creamy cocoa butter and shea baby lotion and the baby oil gel in the same flavor, I have been amazed at how much it has helped me and changed my skin, the texture has even changed.
I put the oil gel on right out of the shower still wet to seal the moisture in, I rub the lotion on my arms and legs, feet once or twice a day, I like to do it right before bed.
I'm really so surprised at how much it has helped me, more than anything else.

I meant to say that the creamy lotion comes in a brown tube and the gel is thick clear with bubbles in it with brown top like this
And it smells great but mild.

Any product with shea butter will work. CVS brand has one that is excellent and not expensive.

It might help to make sure your face is damp when you apply lotion. In most cases it is moisture your skin needs. I would consult a dermatologist though to be sure of what it is.

I use Vaseline intensive care lotion all over and have for years.

Try some olive oil or coconut oil.

I once had a recipe for sunscreen that used olive oil. I smelled like a salad, but I still used it. LOL

I use glycerine on my skin. Good on the scalp too and worked into your hair as well.

Safflower oil is the 'working' ingredient in a lot of pricy skin preparations. Considering that it's a lot cheaper to buy a bottle of it at the supermarket, than the drug store, can't hurt to give it a try.

It's also an excellant hair conditioner, BUT you should use only a drop or two, rubbed into your palms, then worked into your hair starting at the ends, working up to the roots.

My feet get so dry in the summer because I wear sandals all the time. If I put a heavy moisturizer on them at night and wear socks, it really softens them up and they look a lot better.

I'm starting to get crepe-paper skin, just par to aging and I am dry. When I get out of the shower I just pat my legs and arms with a towel and then moisturize while still a little damp.
