11 Things Drier Than Your Skin In The Winter, Somehow

Even your best moisturizer can’t fix these things.

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).

11. The Atacama Desert

Your skin cannot even compare to Chile’s Atacama Desert, but to be fair, it’s one of the driest places on Earth, making it steep competition.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
