Assuming this dry skin is on your face... I used to have that problem too. I didn't realize you could get zits from too dry of skin so the problem worsened as I failed to moisturize enough. I discovered a product by a brand called 'source Naturals' called 'skin eternal cream' it's a very heavy cream, and the company recommends it for nighttime use, but my skin is so dry, I use it for the daytime, and it works great. I am 34 and easily look 24. It is rather expensive though, at about $25--$30 per 4oz bottle. I usually get it at iherb.com. Do not get the skin eternal day cream-- it is not the same and does not pack as much moisturizing punch... good luck!
