Taurus is considered to a be fixed sign in the zodiac, meaning they are the purest embodiment of their season, in this case, spring.  As an earth sign, Taurus is very rooted, which may make them appear “fixed” in place, or stubborn.

You may be thinking, “wait, aren’t those terms- dry and dehydrated- basically the same thing?” Although we use the words dry and dehydrated interchangeably, and heck, they may even feel similar, they are not the same thing. 

Let’s explore the difference between dry and dehydrated skin, characteristics of each, and how to effectively treat and manage both.
