Dry Hands and Water

Isn't it weird that when we have dry hands, putting them under water makes it worse ?

We have naturally occurring oils on our skin. If you have dry hands, you already have less oil than optimal. When you wash your hands, you wash away more of the surface oils.

But what makes our skin lose it's oils? Appart from washing our hands?
Why is it that in the winter, for example, we get dryer skin?

I am not sure whether this has anything to do with it but, anyway !

When snow covers fruit (eg oranges, lemons) it destroys them. Water's volume increases when turning from luquid to ice(*). As a result, the water inside the cells break through them.

*Water's volume also increases as it's temperature falls from 4C to 0C ... isn't that interesting? It has something to do with the so called "Hydrogen Bonds"

check this out ;)

EDIT: BTW, while squeezing a lemon in my chicken soup, lemon juice fell on a cut (it's getting cold nowadays and my hands are chapped!) and, apart from making my cut sting, it sort of healed it !!! How is this explained

Edit 2: Found a better link for "this"

"Lemons rightly deserve to be called a Superfood as each lemon is packed with powerful antioxidant and anti-cancer healing properties.

Vitamin C:
A large lemon contains about 45 mg of Vitamin C, a whopping 75% of the daily requirement! We need Vitamin C to fend off colds and heal cuts and wounds.

Vitamin C in lemons have the same remarkable healing properties found in many citrus fruits. Vitamin C helps to neutralize and reduce the effect of free radicals that contribute to cancer and heart disease. Our body generates free radicals whenever we burn calories as fuel for our cells." (from http://righteatinghabits.com/ hope it helps)
