Moisturize The Skin
Realize that your skin probably is not as dry as you think. The dryness and tightness you feel after washing is normal and temporary. And also realize that moisturizing themselves do not add moisture, they trap moisture. That's why your skin should still be damp when you smooth on the moisturizers. Most moisturizers contain petrolatum, mineral oil or other oils, and/or lanolin, and you have to take care not to use too much, because all that oil can clog your pores stopping your skin from breathing and can also trap dirt. Plain old cheap petrolatum has been found to keep the skin moisturized for so long as two weeks.
