Dry skin in winter

I'm taking care of my mother, who is already old , and I noticed a very dry skin and peeling. It is very cold right now in Lisbon (Portugal), about + 5 ° C, she has to wear warm clothes which protect her from the cold and she's usually in an environment where the heater usually works a long time turn the skin of a older woman to dry. She made me mad because she didn't warn me of her skin's dry state, and to help her with it I moisturize her legs and feet with Nivea Soft to turn them hydrous.

Therefore, in the elderly is necessary to be very alert to this situation. The hydration of the body is very important since the body of an elderly no longer have the defenses when it was young . In addition to the cream the elder should drink plenty of water, says somewhere in the Internet that one should drink 2 liters per day, but even I can only drink that many water in the days when I go running. My mother is unreceptive to drink water, but I can make her drink half a liter of water (0.5 liters), it's better drink some water then none.

TAKE CARE TO THE ONE YOU LOVE BECAUSE NO ONE DO IT BETTER.
