1
Moisturize regularly using a thick cream or oil to promote soft, supple skin. Also, use a moisturizer that has an SPF. After showering or bathing is the best time to apply it because this is when the skin retains the most moisture, due to your pores being open.
-
2
Use a humidifier to keep moisture in the air -- especially in your bedroom, where you probably spend the most hours of the day.

3
Use warm (not hot) water for your showers and cut down on baths, which sap the skin of its moisture.
-
4
Wear clothing made of natural fibers, when possible, to allow the skin to breathe, and use a mild laundry detergent that won't irritate your skin further.
