Thank you for asking us for suggestions on dealing with very dry sensitive skin.
I am concerned that your skin becomes red upon touch. First, avoid using a loofa when bathing. Second, I suggest you consult your physician who may recommend a visit to a dermatologist. You want to rule out any serious skin or medical condition as a cause for very dry sensitive skin.
In the meantime, keep well hydrated by drinking at least six 8 ounce glasses of water daily. Bath or shower using warm, not hot, water. Use a gentle soap designed for sensitive skin. Gently wash and gently towel dry, using a patting motion.
Purchase a moisturizer designed for sensitive skin. Avoid products that contain perfumes and dyes. Consider using mineral oil, which is the active ingredient in baby oil.
