    Drinking good amount of water can certainly help combat dry skin, But the fact is that dry skin is a condition which many people suffer from and only water cant help, You will need to do much more than that. Exfoliation is also necessary, people suffering from dry skin often skip this important step as they think it will make skin more drier. But in fact it is very important to use a good Exfoliator which is especially for dry skin and then using the right moisturizer to provide skin a good care which it needs.
