A friend of mine complaining that his skin was so dry and starting to look like kucing kurap skin (ber tompok tompok) or red patches all over his leg. Instantly this reminded me of my trip to Japan, where I had red rashes all over my body.
I went to a skin doctor after that and I learnt a few important tips for you with super dry skin who is living in winter countries or constantly under the air condition.
First of all, if your skin is dry, please make sure you do not shower under SUPER steamming hot water or chilly cold water. This will makes the condition became worst. Instead just use warm or room temperature water. Right after shower, make sure you use lotion and rub all over your body. If you are using heater or air cond, make sure you turn it low. Also, if you are in a hotel room, fill up the bath tub with SUPER hot water, and the steam will humidify your room.
If all above still does not help, before shower, rub the lotion all over, and then only go to shower. After shower, then rub the lotion again. The key to this is to maintain a layer of moisture to protect your skin.
Anyway, dear kiasus, make sure you put the enough lotion daily or else you can remain like kuching kurap!

For those who are very particular about their skin I would suggest a slightly more expensive body milk. Not only they will moiturise your skin but it also keep your skin soft and smooth.
As for those Kiasus, some Hotel do provide moiturising body cream for after shower use...USE THEM!!! IT'S FREE!!!!
Unless you want to look like one of the cast in the movie "The Hills Have Eyes 2"...better start moiturising your skin before you travel to countries where the weather is cold and dry.
One more thing...include more animal fats in your diet. That works for me.
Wooo I won't want to look like those freaks in 'The hills have eyes'! Ok rub rub rub and eat more fat!
