Drying Out

Fio loves the cold winter weather, but it's murder on her skin, which is so dry that she'd bathe in a tub of melted butter if one were available. The cold dries out her hair too. Every morning she wakes up with it standing up all over her head like a pile of old straw.

It's more than the weather. Along with fourteen percent of the rest of the population, Fio has Hashimoto's, which means her thyroid is problematical, causing languor and dry skin. Fio was one of those kids you hated in high school because her complexion was always clear, but it's come back to bite her now.

So be thankful you had adolescent zits and please pass Fio the Skin-So-Soft.
