Yeah vaseline works, but it may some cause and effect on skin,
Perhaps you could try oil instead of creams and lotions?
I have dry skin as well, especially around my eyes and my forehead is always a bit flaky. I tried lots of different creams but none of them did a good job.
I now use oil which I buy from the Beautiful Pure skin care product line. I use the wrinkle relief which I mainly use at night, during the day I use a cream with SPF.
For my body I also use the bath & body oils from the same shop, they are really nice and I don't have that dry itchy feeling after a shower.
I think they also do eczema oil, especially for dry and irritated skin so perhaps you could give that one a try.
Also very good for dry patches is unrefined sheabutter.

Vaseline by: M.W.
This is a great tip and it does work wonders!
If you have a particularly stubborn dry spot or scaly skin patch, I find that putting an antibiotic ointment on it for a few nights if the vaseline just isn't working fast enough does the trick.
