text: I'm around your age, honey, and I can tell you that it's a challenge keeping your skin moist at this age.  I take a good multivitamin daily (Dr. Taub's) and it has 400units of E in it.  I also take Rx estrogen.  One thing you can do is after showering/bathing, pat dry and IMMEDIATELY apply a moisturizer.  This will lock in the moisture from your bath/shower.  I usually apply a sealant like petroleum jelly to my elbows and feet (put on socks afterward) and around my cuticles of my fingernails.  I use shey butter cream on the legs and arms,hands.  And a light moisturizer on the face with antioxidants and PAPA in it.  I'm greased up like a turkey!  BUT I don't have dry skin.  A humidifier will also help when running the heater.  God love ya...getting old is not for sissies, is it?
