You have to use moisturizers consistently in order to prevent dry skin. If you aren't using them every day, begin to do that and see if it helps.

Also, try to figure out if there's any common factor among the days when your skin flares up. Is there a connection between the dry skin and a certain type of food, article of clothing, skin care product, etc.? Perhaps you are sensitive to something in your environment.

Try taking Omega 3 capsules – they are great for your body, and help prevent dry skin from the inside out.

Avoid any moisturizer that includes alcohol, especially scents. Look for unscented, hypoallergenic options, especially those that are all natural.

I would try Utter Cream…It doesn't contain alcohol like all other lotions so it doesn't dry out your skin while moisturizing…It's great for people who have psoriasis too!

Have you tried Eucerin? It's in the skincare aisle…really thick and amazing.
A good method for helping dry skin is to slather your hands and feet with Vaseline or Bag Balm and put gloves and socks on while you sleep. It might feel kind of gross, but it's so good for dry skin.
