I have had this problem for years. My dermetologist told me that I have a mild form of psoriosis (spelling?). He gave me a prescription for Talconex, which has really helped. But if that's out of the question, I use Vaseline Intensive Care unscented lotion. Make sure to stay away from anything that has dye, fragrance, or any other irritant. You might want to think about switching dishsoap, and also the soap that you use in the shower. All of these can lead to dry, cracked skin. If you don't mind dropping $17.00, my favorite lotion that I even used on my tummy when I was pregnant was Precipitation by Origins (I have only used the Vaseline lately to save some $$)... it's amazing. You can also try mixing in a little pure Vaseline with your lotion to give some extra moisture. Hope this helps!
