Hi susan,

have you started menopause ? Sometimes dry itchy skin is a major symptom of menopause. Otherwise it may be just a simple case of dry skin. I guess the only way to hydrate your skin properly is to drink at least 8 glasses of water every day (yuck), aswell as keep using your moisturises. Have you been to see your doc about it ?

Good luck
