I would start getting facials - they can rehydrate your skin, etc. If there is a beauty school near you, you can get it done for a good price. Ogle beauty school is almost everywhere.
Good luck.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to stay out of the sun!! That damage is permanent. If your skin looks like leather now, just think what another 10 years in the sun will do. Wear makeup with sunscreen.

Stop laying in the sun so much. Don't you know how bad it is for your skin?? Then start using cocoa butter lotion. It is really good for skin that has been damaged by the sun. Also, oil of olay has great facial products. Check out their day and night cream. Good luck.

You may need to have a face peel to remove the damaged layer. Seek a specialist and know it will not be cheap. You can not stay in the sun and expect to look like anything less than an alligator. give your skin a break.

try using an oatmel with honey soap, the oatmel content will scrape the dead cells while the honey in it will smothen your skin. after this, do not towel try, just remove excess water from your skin then apply a body oil . after 3-5 minutes (enough time for your body to absorb the oil), apply a moisturizing lotion, make sure that it rich in vitamin e.
for your face wash it with cetaphil facial wash then do not towel dry, just tap tap it in front of an electric fan, then apply celliteque facial moisturizer, then your vitamin e rich sun block.
importanly, drink tons and tons of water, avoid, sodas, coffee and ice tea. avaoid spicy, fatty and salty foods.

I like using products with Shea Butter. They're really helpful to your skin. Also, keep trying to use moisturizer for your face, that should help out as well. Good luck!

The better thing you could do besides using a very good moisturizer is drinking at least 4 glasses of water of 8oz. each. Water is really important for the skin!!!

start using some products called Arbonne.
go to arbonne.com to order. it is the best stuff you will ever use on your skin!!! it won't clog your pores like baby oil, and it really moisturizes! it is 100% vegan, that means it doesn;t have any products or by-products from animals.
i promise if you try it you will never use aything else again!
god luck
