It is really important to protect your skin from the sun in summer and winter, and in winter from wind and central heating. Thus is important to moisturize dry and flakyskin. This is the only solution. Buy some moisturizer for dry skin, best are those containing herbs like aloe vera. Almonds are also very beneficial for dry and flakyskin. Moisturize well and few times a day.

Here is a simple home remedy that I use in winter when I also have problems with dry and flaky skin- I guess it is because of wind and cold outside and heat in the apartment. And that kind of changes are definitely not good for skin.
Mix some honey (one quarter of a cup) with the same amount of ground cloves of garlic (also one quarter of a cup). Mix well and apply on face for few minutes. Then rinse with warm water. Apply this few times a day for a few days. Do not worry about the garlic smell- it is not that obvious, besides, apply moisturizer after. This home remedy makes wonders for dry and flakyskin.
