Yes! I like Olive Oil as a natural moisturizer too.

USE EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL!!! It might sound crazy but it's really not! Okay so what you want to do is use it to remove your makeup (if you where any) then wash your face and shower or whatever. then once your done with that put some olive oil on a cotton ball. put a little bit more in the dry areas then put a little in the none dry areas that Way your skin will be evened out. Olive oil is not only a GREAT moisturizer but it also will make your skin really REALLY soft and (if you have any) get rid of acne scars!! Hope this works for you the way it works for me!! :)

You should use products that are tested on sensitive skins , I recommend AVENE , you can get it in pharmacies and other grocery stores, it's a brand that uses thermal spring water and it just WORKS... trust me... you can try CLINIQUE and LA ROCHE POSAY too.

Try a different moisturizer. You said aloe Vera helps, so look for one with aloe in it. Also, try taking cold showers. It will be cold but it may help

One possible reason to worsen the dry skin is to take long and hot showers, maybe you like the water to be very hot and show for a long time? If so, maybe try less hot and shorter showers to see if it makes a difference. I use Nivea moisturizer and it's pretty rich and moisturizing...

Hi! Try using cetaphil moisturizer, it's very natural even more so than aveeno or other products that claim to be natural. I have probably worlds most sensitive skin and it works miracles for me! It gives you a good even skin tone free using it too! I recommend it highly!
