I've been through the full cycle. All I have to say is that when I was 16, it was HELL. My face was literally so dry, I could watch the skin flake off when the wind blew. NO JOKE.

Girls in higschool knew me as "the guy with the dry face". What a way to be known in HS! Jesus christ it was humiliating. I had a tube of Blistex wherever I went, and my lips were always bleeding. I couldn't open my mouth without my lips cracking, and bleeding all over the place. You can't wash your face without it becoming wayyyy too dry and cracking / pealing all over the place. My face was so dry the corners of my mouth had chunks of dry skin that I had to pick off to look somewhat normal.

Anyway, you get the picture. Reality is actually worse than my discription, if you can believe it.
