An arid environment can be very difficult to endure. It influences the body in many ways.
Hair is susceptible to static. Skin is susceptible to dryness. Sometimes even cracking and chafing.
Mucous membranes dry out: this in particular leads to nose bleeds.
Eyes become dried out, scratchy and reddened.
Talcum powder can soften the scratchiness of skin, but is drying. Lotions or mineral oil (baby oil, scented mineral oil) help. Lotions have different properties: facial cream, hand cream, body cream, foot cream. Additives are important: aloe, vitamin E, scents.
Conditioners for hair can help.
Eye drops can soothe, and decrease red eyes.
Dry is hard. But we survive.
