One thing I was unaware of for a long time while living in Tokyo was how dry winters were over here. I often noticed how parched my hands and lips were but I usually put it down to windy weather and low temperatures. It was until I took a walk around my neighbourhood and saw how much the landscape had changed with drastically decreased water levels. We did have a day or two of snow but it's now as good as gone and we should probably watch for a continuation of drought.
Well, those moisturizers and the recommended 2.7 litres per day actually make a lot of sense.
