Dry itchy skin my be due to a loss of moisture through the over use of synthetic detergents, cosmetics, perfumes and soaps that contain chemical detergents, scents and colorants.
Use a chemical free creams, soaps and shampoos. made soap that is chemical and additive free.

Proper nutrition is important; include whole food vitamins and essential fatty acids in your diet.
Essential fatty Acids are excellent long term nutrients for itchy conditions.
Flax seed oil has been known to relieve long term symptoms of psoriasis and dry skin type problems.
