Eucerin--expensive, but worth it. I'm wondering if you have eczema. If so, the doctor can get you something that will help you more.

Carley's Clear & Smooth Natural Soap Bar (5)

But the bar is SOO big!!! It's 6 ounces per bar!! How big is that?? I suggest you to try their moisturiser (if it's for the body, try their body lotion at their eBay Store) because you'll get FREE 1 bar soap!!! You WILL love their products as much as I do!!
And don't forget, oatmeal bath!!
Here's how:
You'll need a blender, food processor or coffee grinder and 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 cup of milk (or more according to your liking), 2 tablespoon of honey & olive oil each. You can use instant oatmeal (unflavored), quick oats or slow cooking oats- all work equally as well. For babies, you'll only need about 1/3 cup per bath.
Blend or process the oats on the highest setting until you have a very fine, consistent powder. To test the colloid property of the oats, stir 1 tablespoon oats into a glass of warm water. If the oats readily absorb the water and give it a milky look and a silky feel, you've blended long enough.
Giving the bath:
Sprinkle the oats into a tub of running water and stir the water with your hand several times to ensure even distribution. Add milk, honey & olive oil.
Feel along the bottom of the tub for clumps and break up any you find.
Get into the tub carefully as the oats & oils will make the tub even more slippery than usual. Allow yourself to soak in the tub for 15-20 minutes and pat dry with a soft towel rather than rubbing. Slather moisturiser.
You can use this bath once or twice a day.
If it's your face, do an oatmeal facial. Mix oatmeal with milk to a paste. Add a teaspoon (or more to get the right consistency) of honey. Apply it to your face & wait for about 20-30 minutes. Wash off with warm water. Follow with a splash of cold water. Pat dry! Apply moisturiser.
GOOD LUCK!!

I find that using a soap that has extra moisturizers in it and not taking long HOT HOT HOT showers or baths help. As soon as I get out I put on a good moisturizer, one for extremely dry skin and try to drink more water (it hydrates the skin). If your skin has a scaly patch here and there you may want to see the Doctor as it could be eczema or a reaction to your clothing detergent.

Olive oil is very efficient!!!
Make a body scrub of equal parts olive oil and salt. Add a bit of essential oil to change the smell, lavender and rose wood are good for dry skin. Scrub/massage gently all over face and body, rinse and pat dry. It works like a charm.
Do on the weekend cause it may leave the skin a bit greassy.

Plenty of water, and believe it or not a good multi-vitamin. Also, I have seen a few great lotions and oils at a local nutrition store that have helped my husband and me a lot.
Also, try looking into a gentle soap instead of a harsh scrubbing soap.
Good luck!

Buy products that were meant for extra dry skin. I use Olay's Body Quench and love it.

Use Vaseline brand moisturising lotion. It works wonderfully.
