damaged cedar

So trying to make it through my first winter in the northeast with my new hobby, when I notice the humidity getting below 62 or so, I have been dabbing very lightly the inside of the lid and around the lips where the lid opens and closes with a moist towel of distilled water. It works like a charm, or so I think, and keeps the humi up in the 65 to 70 range for close to 3 weeks before i'll have to do it again. However, I have noticed that the cedar, especially on the lips appears too dry, a good deal drier than when I bought the humidor before I seasoned it, even though my humidity is holding somewhat steady. Did I damage the cedar somehow? It's not warped or moldy or anything that would suggest too much water, just dry. Any advice? Humidor not ruined I hope
