Very dry skin.

This time of year has always been bad for me.

1. Dry heat from the furnace combined with the temps in this part of the world......wind chill factors in the -40- -60C range

2. Hard water--a wonderful indulgence is to spend several hours in the bath with a new book and the fact that the mineral content of the water is so high--drys skin out

3. Hot showers also dry skin out as well


also, thinking back on when I first began to show sign of Diabetes, but didn't of applying the dx to me, I know I was having trouble with the skin on my fingers particularly.
