Can anyone explain why water makes for a lousy moisterizer. I mean it's water. Water is the very essence of moisture. So how is it possible that applying water to your skin can actually make it more dry?! I've always known this to be true but I just don't get WHY.

And while we're answering scientific questions how 'bout this one. Why does cold water boil faster than hot water. It's true. It doesn't make any sense but it's true.
