Reply #12: It also helps to rinse with a weak vinegar solution

[Warpy]

especially if you've got hard water. The vinegar rinse takes off any soap residue, something that really dries out the skin in winter since it binds to the natural oils.

Soft water will generally get rid of enough of it that it isn't a problem.

Oils and creams applied just after showering and while the skin is still damp can help.

Mostly, though, it's just a case of staying well hydrated and not showering quite as often.
