Drinking more water and showering less can moisturize skin but the best way is to use a moisturizing cream. 

Soap affects
the natural lubricating and protective barrier of the skin and so selection of a mild soap is absolutely necessary.

Lactic acid or glycolic acid creams and lotions can be prescribed to remove scales and keep your skin moist. 

Creams containing urea that moisturize your skin could be prescribed.
