I was recently asked what to do in the winter to relieve dry skin. There is a lot that one can do: firstly use a gentle cleanser, never harsh soaps. Turn the temperature down on water. Keep hydrated by drinking more non-caffeinated beverages. Our Alastin product line has an Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer that helps a lot. And if that is not enough, my private line has Kurative, a yet-stronger moisturizer. After applying moisturizer, a zinc containing sunscreen is necessary to ward off uv damage, even in winter.
