For your hands, I would suggest Neutrogena Hand Cream. It is really thick and sticky, but if you put it on well at night and cover your hands with white gloves, in the morning your hands will feel a lot better. You have to do this every night until your hands are healed. Then do it periodically before your hands get really dry. Maybe once or twice a week.
For the rest of your body, Eucerin cream works really well. You also have to put it on everyday until you skin heals. After taking your bath or shower and before you dry your skin, put a few drops of baby oil in your hand and rub it on the dry skin and then pat dry with a towel. It will guck the towel up, but it is worth it and does work. Also, don't take hot baths or showers and don't soak in the tub in hot water. If you take baths, put bath oil in the water.

Sounds like you are drinking enough water. Could be that you are in a dry area of the country and if you are in a winter area with lots of cold weather, dry skin is obvious.
The best lotion I have found is called Malibu Hemp. I buy it at Walmart for about 5.00 a bottle. It has a great smell to it, it's not sticky and if used daily really helps clear up the dry skin that itches and flakes badly.

Strictly speaking shaving shouldn't reason dry dermis. you may get razor burn from shaving dry, which you quite shouldn't do. constantly make certain that the floor is lubricated in the previous shaving with a customary razor and use a calming lotion afterwards. additionally confirm the razor is new and sharp and not blunt as this would drag the floor and would reason infections. in case you shave with a battery or electric powered shaver confirm the heads are no longer worn and in addition moisturise after.

I have really bad dry skin too, my skin will crack and bleed, but I've finally found something that works for me. I use Aveeno 24 hour moisturizer, fragrance free. It absorbs really fast and doesn't leave me feeling greasy. My skin hasn't felt this good in a very long time.

Try Booths oils and bath products, shea bath and others, stop thinking pills will help is not the answer. There is a pill for everything. Sometimes just old fashion remdemies work.

Avon makes a really nice hand cream that works on the dryest hands I've ever seen...
Also, bag balm (the stuff in the green tin) works really well on dry skin, too.

Take bathes instead of shower and use olay oil body wash (shower takes more oil off of your skin) use a good moisturizer like vasaline creamy.

Try talking w/ a dermatologist. Try dove products like lotions or soaps.

try creams or intensive lotions like avon intensive lotion, even after I wash my hands it still stays on, try not washing your hands so much, and be aware of stuff with fragrance and alcohol in it, like body wash, dish detergent, antibacterial soap, hand sanitizers

I'm the same way in the winter months. try taking a bath with baby oil in it. and get a humidifier for you room.
