Hello,
For rough and dry skin, mainstay of management is liberal use of moisturizers after washing with luke warm water and apply the moisturizer immediately after  patting dry the body. Soap should be used minimally. Moisturizers should be reapplied liberally during the day.

If the symptoms persist then xerosis needs to be ruled out. For this please consult a dermatologist.

I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
