I have experienced the pain surviving a scaly skin. I have got a relief from the same, after following some of the following expert advice. Good if the same could help you too;

Dry and scaly skin is frustrating, sensitive and even painful. As stated by the Mayo Clinic, dry skin is characterized by a feeling of tightness, rough appearance, itching, flaking, wrinkles and redness. Skin acts as a barrier preventing irritants and toxins from penetrating the pores and causing skin damage. When skin becomes extremely dry, it no longer works as a protective factor and harmful free radicals cause skin damage. Although there is no permanent cure, there are some natural treatments that can help reduce and prevent symptoms of dry and scaly skin. However, home remedies are not meant to replace medical treatments, and a physician should be contacted if your skin condition worsens or does not subside.

Apply 1 tbsp. of plain whole yogurt to the face using circular motions. Yogurt works as a gentle cleanser, and according to VivaWomen.net, the lactic acid and enzymes found in yogurt soften and nourish dry skin. Rinse with lukewarm water.

Use witch hazel as a natural astringent after cleansing the skin with yogurt. Apply witch hazel to the face with a cotton ball. Witch hazel is gentle and will not dry out the skin.

Apply 1/2 tbsp. pure honey to the skin as a moisturizing mask. Leave on the face for 30 minutes and rinse with warm water. Honey is a natural humectant, which attracts moisture to the skin and helps lock it in.

Smooth 1/4 cup of olive oil over the body after your daily shower. This oil contains fatty acids that penetrate the pores for soft and nourished skin.

Massage 1/4 tsp. of grape seed oil into dry and scaly facial skin twice a day. Grapeseed oil is ideal for the face because it will not clog pores and it contains age-fighting antioxidants.
