Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi. As you grow older, your skin becomes less active in releasing fatty substances in sebum. As a result, skin becomes dry. All you need to do is using a good moisturizer frequently say 4 to 5 times a day and especially after bath. Also, use syndet based soaps only. Avoid hot water for bath. If you wish, you can use lukewarm water, but avoid hot water. Drying of eyes is another issue and you need to consult an eye specialist for it. Hope it answers your queries.
