text: are there vitamens i can take to get my skin to moisterize i am over 50 but seem to have very dry skin on my? legs and hands . i use cream but its just temp ! i'm around your age, honey, and i can tell you that it's a challenge keeping your skin moist at this age.  i take a good multivitamin daily (dr. taub's) and it has 400units of e in it.  i also take rx estrogen.  one thing you can do is after showering/bathing, pat dry and immediately apply a moisturizer.  this will lock in the moisture from your bath/shower.  i usually apply a sealant like petroleum jelly to my elbows and feet (put on socks afterward) and around my cuticles of my fingernails.  i use shey butter cream on the legs and arms,hands.  and a light moisturizer on the face with antioxidants and papa in it.  i'm greased up like a turkey!  but i don't have dry skin.  a humidifier will also help when running the heater.  god love ya...getting old is not for sissies, is it?
