Central Heating drying out my skin
So since having the heating on almost constantly now in these winter months, my skins all over is really dry, I exfoliate and moisturise every day but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Avoid soap or foaming products in the shower - used mositurising cream or emollient based washes as a wash.
Choose unfragranced, thicker cream based moisturisers or a medical emollient. Urea can be a useful ingredient to hold the water into the skin.
Also consider turning your heating down a couple of degrees.
