Hi - I'm confused about something I read in the book and maybe someone can help me understand.  I am a DSPT, and in the "What Your Test Reveals" on page 49, where it talks about slightly dry skin - it says that your O/D and S/R scores can interact and if you have a score of 30 or greater on the S/R scale, the chapters on Dry Resistant skin can help.

I definitely have a score of 30 or higher on the S/R scale, but wouldn't that make my skin even more sensitive and less resistant?  I have extremely sensitive, rosacea-ish skin that is anything but resistant - I don't understand why the chapters on Dry Resistant skin would be helpful - wouldn't the advice be for someone without sensitive skin?  Am I misunderstanding the explanation on page 49?  Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

Hmmm...I don't get it, either. I wonder if it's a typo? ???
