My skin is very dry at the best of times,?!
Question: I take care of it and drink plenty of water, it still causes it to be dry, anything else I can do to help?

Difficult, especially in the winter. Humid air is helpful (a humidifier might benefit in the house). Avoid harsh soaps. Hot water is worse than warm water (washes off more of the natural oils). As far as moisturizing, the slimy-er the lotion/cream, the better. Creams that aren't greasy aren't helpful - they usually contain alcohol to make them less greasy. Alcohol dries skin. Thick Eucerin, Aquaphor, plain vasoline are very good. Shea butter isn't bad. Apply the creams generously as you get out of the shower, after blotting dry with the towel. This locks in some of the residual moisture from the shower. Good job on staying hydrated; that is important.
skin as in face? if so buy the Clinique face moisturiser.
