Answer: I too have very very dry skin and scalp, especially in the winter. I keep my skin and scalp moisturized by doing a few things. Dove shampoo and conditioner help a LOT when it comes to my hair and scalp, way better than any dry skin or dandruff shampoo. I also do a V05 hot oil treatment once a month.As far as home remedies and vitamins, some that have worked well for me were:1. Vitimin E- you can take the gel tablets internally, or break them open and apply it directly to your skin in dry areas like elbows knees and nose, or on your scalp2. Olive oil. My hairdresser puts this in my hair/scalp when she does it and WOW it really makes the difference. It makes your scalp moist without making it greasy, which is really hard to acheive with store bought products.3. Lavender oil. This was prescribed to me when I was a baby and I had cradle cap (seriously bad dry skin over the whole scalp) it completely made it go away when all else failed.These three items are very cheap and can be purchased at any GNC or Walmart
