Moisturize well and often:

Moisturizing frequently-twice a day, depending on your skin type and climate-not only prevents dryness, it can also help repair sun damage and slow wrinkling. Look for three main groups of fortifying ingredients when choosing a moisturizer: cell-repairing components such as derivatives of vitamin A; antioxidants, such as green tea and vitamin C; and substances that mimic the structure of skin, like cholesterol and fatty acids. It's also a good idea to vary your pick according to season, says Laura Hittleman, corporate beauty director for the Canyon Ranch Spas in Arizona and Massachusetts. Depending on your climate, choose a heavy-duty moisturizer in the winter and a lighter one in the summer. And don't use glycolic acid or Retin-A for too long, she warns, because they can end up thinning your skin.
