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 ?
