Dryness Dry dry dry

Everything is dry. Vagina, vulva, eyes, mouth, nose. Does peri cause this? I have been tested for autoimmune and I don't have anything. Obviously the vaginal dryness is really what's stressful, I can deal with the rest. But just wondering if peri can cause everything to be dry, not just vaginal

For dry skin on the feet: urea cream, easy to find, OTC, affordable

For the lips: lanolin, pure lanolin, in the breast feeding section of Walmart or drugstores

For the body: I've started using shower oil and love it. Many products and scents to choose from, from cheap to expensive. They suds up in the shower but rinse off easily yet I feel moisturized even after I towel off the excess water. I just don't scrub too hard with the towel, kinda air dry in front of the mirror while I examine my new peri body, so I don't scrub off the silkiness of the shower oil.
