Hi Will. Thanks for the question. It's never dried mine out, but since I believe it's more for the sanitation / preservative factor so the mixture doesn't go bad, as well as the cool evaporative effect (there may be other reasons, but those are the ones I was told about), if you have sensitive skin that dries out easily you could try a couple of different modifications.

One, try witch hazel instead of rubbing alcohol. Two, mix in a little olive or soy oil so you get a moisture factor. Let me know how you make out.
