There are a couple of things you can do:
A- You can use a specialised face wash designed for dry skin!
B- You can cream your face evry night with Nivea or Dove!
C- You can also use face wipes which are good for last minute moisturising!

I purchased some brown sugar exfoliating face scrub from CO Bigelow (you can buy at Bath & Body Works). I think it works WONDERS. It helps slough off all those yucky dead skin cells and truly brightens your skin after a few uses. Just make sure you follow the directions - it should only be used 1-2x per week.
I also recommend neutrogena moisturizing face lotion - I've been using it for years and think it keeps my face pretty hydrated. (non-com. so it won't clog pores)

If you look on the back at the ingredients in the moisturizers you have been using, I will bet they contain either alcohol, some kind of oils and/or petroleum jelly. All of these only work temporarily and actually dry your skin even more. I suggest using the Hydrating Creme Extreme from Bee-Luscious Cosmetics (Google them). It is free from all of these products and will really straighten out your dry skin.

Dry skin problems respond well to self-care measures, such as using moisturizers and avoiding long, hot showers and baths. If you have very dry and scaly skin, your doctor may recommend you use an over-the-counter cream that contains lactic acid or lactic acid and urea.
In a more serious skin disease, such as ichthyosis or psoriasis, your doctor may prescribe prescription creams and ointments or other treatments in addition to home care.
Dry skin leads to dermatitis, which causes red, itchy skin. In these cases, treatment may include hydrocortisone-containing lotions. If your skin cracks open, your doctor may prescribe wet dressings with mildly astringent properties to contract your skin and reduce secretions and prevent infection.

i know this seems weird, but take spread toothpaste all over your face leave it there for about 10 mins then wash it off in the next 30 mins your skin will be super moist the toothpaste will dry out your skin to cope with the lose of oil your face will produce extra oil to make up for the loss

You're so lucky you have dry skin. Oily skin sucks!
Get a good lotion...something from Clinique. My mom has this lotion from there...and it's yellow. It's awesome and it keeps her skin smooth.
