Dry skin may be one of the most uncomfortable results of cold winter climates. It can leave you feeling itchy, looking red and sometimes, it downright stings. But, as are many things in life, dryness is relative: as dehydrated as your skin may be, there are plenty of things out there that can give it a run for its money.
1. Your hair (in the winter)
You’re not imagining that change in your hair texture that you feel in the wintertime – the cold air sucks that moisture out, which may help oil-prone hair, but can cause damage and breakage when the dryness goes too far.
2. The air in your bedroom (also in the winter)
With that heat cranked up in the cold winter months, your room is left feeling like a barren land, and you'll probably wake up in dire need of water.
3. A saltine cracker
As an ultra dry, ultra salty snack, it’s no wonder the saltine cracker challenge – eating six saltine crackers in one minute – is such a daunting task.
4. Toby Flenderson from "The Office"
Poor guy, all he wants to do is be happy and keep the peace, but he just is who he is: a dry, monotone, HR rep.
5. Cole Sprouse’s Instagram account, camera_duels
On this account, "Riverdale" actor Cole Sprouse takes on a paparazzo's role and captures photos and videos of people on the street photographing him. Each upload is accompanied by a lengthy, well-written caption that is really a narrative of how the post came to be. The formality of the captions mixed with the humor of the whole premise exemplifies wit and dry humor.6. Raisins
This is what you get when you dry out grapes, which, ironically, may be one of the juiciest fruits of all.
7. Bill Belichick
To see him bare a smile is like finding a needle in a haystack, but I guess with the Patriots’ track record, who am I to judge.
8. Your last Tinder conversation
Let’s be real – there’s probably little to no substance in the majority of them, anyway.
9. Your Econ textbook
Granted, I am no economics student, but from what I hear, these books can be tough to get through.
10. Roz from "Monsters, Inc."
Her slow, scratchy voice and sluggish movements maker her a dry, crabby character…that is, until she reveals her real identity later on in the film (I won’t give any more spoilers).
