I'm around your age, honey, and I can tell you that it's a challenge keeping your skin moist at this age. I take a good multivitamin daily (Dr. Taub's) and it has 400units of E in it. I also take Rx estrogen. One thing you can do is after showering/bathing, pat dry and IMMEDIATELY apply a moisturizer. This will lock in the moisture from your bath/shower. I usually apply a sealant like petroleum jelly to my elbows and feet (put on socks afterward) and around my cuticles of my fingernails. I use shey butter cream on the legs and arms,hands. And a light moisturizer on the face with antioxidants and PAPA in it. I'm greased up like a turkey! BUT I don't have dry skin. A humidifier will also help when running the heater. God love ya...getting old is not for sissies, is it?

Besides taking a multi vitamin take extra of vitamins A, C, E, and D, Also try taking evening primrose oil and a tablespoon of olive oil a day. Above all else make certain that you drink plenty of water. Otherwise no matter what you do your skin will still be dry.
