How do you keep skin from becoming to dry during winter?

It has gotten cold where I live, and my sking has become dryer that usual. I use a body lotion everyday after the shower, but by the end of the day it dry like I haven%26#039;t use any. I used a body wash with moisturizers in it, but that did not help much. I have some aloe vera at home that I am thinking about using. I am also drinking more water. What else can I use on my sking to keep it from becoming dry.|||Buy a humidifier for your house.
