I'm curious about more effective home care methods for dry skin!?

My skin tends to be dry even in summer, let alone winter. My lips crack easily, and even though I think I apply body lotion and care products generously to my arms, legs, and body, they absorb so quickly that it feels like I didn't even apply them, leaving my skin feeling dry.

I tend to drink water often, you know?!

How much more do I have to drink? Hmm 🤔

Please also recommend any products you have tried that provide extra intense hydration and long-lasting staying power.
