I never had this before, and now my face is getting dry a lot.
Any vitamins or supplement i need to try?

Are you  drinking enough water ? Sometimes not taking in enough fluids can make your skin dry .
A great suppliment to keep our hair and skin supple is Vitamin E ... you might want to try this .

Also, from the tine I was a little girl ,my mother would bathe me in a tub and use Olive Oil in the tub , The olive oil locks in the moisture .  To this day I do a Olive Oil bath once a week. I take steroids on a daily basis and this totally sucks the moisture from your skin . So give that a try if you want .

For your face , you might want to find a good night cream .,I swear by Oil of Olay . My mother once again used it daily . She would wash her face then before applying any make up , she would put on the OIl of Olay .. than at night time she would clense her face and put the Oil of Olay on to go to bed with . She always had great skin .

There are some really great products on the market for dry facial skin . I use the Oil of Olay and  a product made by ROC . It is a night cream to prevent wrinkkles and add moisture to our skin .

For my legs , when I shave them I use Avon's Skin so Soft ,,then I Rinse and rub in OLive oil befhind it ,
I hope this helps you ..
Hugs ,

Sometimes we forget that we still need to add fats and oils to our plan.  In tiny amounts of course.  Not only do they help with skin, they help to metabolize certain vitamins and minerals.
Today, I thank God for this beautiful body and all the creations of this earth, for the blessings I am given and reminding myself that I will honour God and His creations and myself by consuming only enough to sustain life.
