I would also suggest oatmeal baths. I myself have very dry skin and I usually take oatmeal baths once a month. It was more frequent when I was younger may once a week but now that I'm older it's not as bad as it use to be. You can purchase these oatmeal bars from any pharmacy store and just run some water and put it right in there. Also to help stop the itching my grandmother made this paste from baking soda and water. It helps to relieve it a lot.
