I know I've always had dry skin. My legs and arms are always dry. I also sit in the sun a lot and burn my scalp. I also think lots of us do not shower, but get washed off. Getting soap washed off or body with a wet towel can never get all the soap off. Unless you used new towel with each wipe. Other wise your getting soap wiped off with a soapy towel. I assume it gets smeared a lot. Greg
