moisturize

Treat dry skin

To moisturize is to add or restore moisture to something, especially skin.

Moisturizing lotions and creams prevent dryness and maintain suppleness: I moisturize every morning after showering.

The word applies beyond skincare to anything that benefits from added moisture: The humidifier helps moisturize the air in winter.
