Turn the temperature down. Luke-warm would be ideal. It could also be the soap or your drying method. My dermatologist recommended washing only essential areas with soap (have you ever heard George Carlin talk about the "hooker's bath?"), and dab dry with a towel -- don't wipe dry.

Olay makes this great product called "in-shower body lotion." It's like a conditioner for your skin instead of your hair. It has worked wonders for me. You put it on & rinse it immediately off right before you get out of the shower. Great stuff!

another problem is the heat in your house this time of year. When I moved out of an all electric house, heat pump and to a gas heated house my dry skin problem lessen by more then half. Try using a humidifier in the bedroom or wherever you dress and spend a lot of time.

* Don't use soap but use a moisturizing cleanser (eg. Cetephil or QV bath wash) or oil (eg. emu oil) for showering of dry skin.
* Don't bathe for more than 10 mins.
* Avoid baths; use shower.
* Don't use water that is too hot.
* After bath, apply oil or cream.

A water softner would be the best solution, but there are point of use water softning shower heads available.

use moisturizing body wash and now they make a body moisturizer to use after you have washed, you put it on just like body wash and rinse off the excess in the shower, it will help. having a water softener helps too.

You could have the temp of the water too hot. Cool it down a bit and afterwards, apply a really good lotion while your skin is still damp. It will help soak up the lotion.

See a skin doctor. Don't shower too long.
