Why does my mouth love cold beverages but my skin hates cold water?

**SHORT ANSWER:**

The thing is, sometimes your skin loves cold water. Your mouth likes cold water more than your skin because your mouth's temperature is higher than your skins.

**LONG ANSWER:**

The reason why it feels good to have a nice cold glass of water but pouring that same water on your skin would make it freeze, is because it's warmer in your mouth than the air around your skin (most of time). Since your mouth is warm, it's a relief to have a cold glass of water. Your mouth is warm because it's inside your body. Your skin is different. It's on the outside, so it takes on the temperature of the air around it. The temperature of your mouth at a normal temperature is around 36.7º C (98.06º F). Rarely is the air around your skin that hot. But when it is, feels good to have a glass of iced water poured onto it. When it's really hot out in the summer, it feels great to go in a pool and cool off. In the fall, you'd most likely think that the same water that refreshes you in the summer is freezing cold.
