I've been eating mostly fruits and vegetables (with nuts), along with a yogurt and usually a fish fillet for dinner. I increased my veggie intake and have applied organic lotion, but have had no luck. Does anyone know why this is happening, and how I can rememdy it? I still drink a lot of water, but it doesn't really help.
You may have lost a significant amount of the natural oils in your skin. You could try incorporating more olive oil, or nut oils, in your diet.
