Dietary fat and dry skin

So lately I have had seriously dry skin. I know this cold, dry winter weather here in Michigan is not helping, but I never remember having skin this dry. I try and drink enough water, but I am beginning to wonder if I am not eating enough fat. I never limit my fat intake, or buy "low-fat" anything. However, a vegan diet is naturally low in fat. The past couple of days I have been eating a lot of nuts (walnuts and almonds), flax seeds, and olive oil to see if this will help... I am not trying to gain weight or anything, just keep my skin from looking like a lizard! :o Does anyone else think this is a possible cause? Or have any other recommendations? ???
