similar to the skin on you lips? when you lips chap (ie, get very dried out) the skin most definately looks scaley.

we are all sort of conscious of the change of skin texture from "regualar skin" to "wet skin" (say the inside of your eyelids) and the egde between the two areas, that is still an other texture.. Face skin, to lips, to mouth is an other, and outer ear to inter ear is an other place of change.. (and in females, external to internal sex organs is very obvious change)
