Try using PawPaw ointment, you just put it on the affected area anytime of the day (you can use it on sratches, burns etc.. it cures everything). You should be able to get it at the chemist - it is brillant! Otherwise go speak to the chemist and they might be able to give you something else..

I learned this from Symone Raven about dry skin. You make a home-made cream. The composition is:
1/2 carrot grated
1 avocado smashed
2 tbs almond oil
Combined the ingredients together. Apply it to the skin just like your lotion. You can use it am, pm, evening if you love to do so. The excess can be stored in your ref for a day or two.
If you have a balanced blood pressure, you can eat fresh avocado because it is rich in natural oil.

Before your application, steam first your skin, like, cover the area with hot towel for some seconds in order to open your pores, then apply the lotion to your skin. If it is your face that is dry skin, pour hot water on a small basin, cover it with towel, then place your face inside the towel to be steamed for seconds.

well home remedies because they are tough to use and apply people shy away from the hard work , but i tell you that if you use them there are ebenefits like numerous , you wont get those wrinkles early , it wont damage your skin and you'll be having a younger skin for a longer time , but the products however good they are they harm the skina nd no doubt about that .

have you ever tried applying coconut oil right after rinsing from the bath or shower then apply neutrogena lotion after then re-apply the lotion before hitting the bed? my mum used to have a really dry skin but this trick that i thought her improved her skin condition. i hope it will do the same for you. good luck mate!
