Smooth and Soothing Care for Dry Skin

It is winter with a vengeance and skin needs all the help it can get--moving from the piercing cold outside into drying heat indoors. Skin can become prone to itching. It could be caused by any number of things—dry indoor heat, chafing cold, etc. Here is a moisture lotion that might help bring some relief, from very dry skin. It really works.

Curél Itch Defense Skin Balancing Lotion really does feel smooth and comforting like liquid satin that is quickly absorbed into your skin. It is thick and rich but not gloppy and is dispensed through a handy pump. Humectants and emollients boost moisturization while Natural Ceramides, help restore the skin’s ability to hold moisture.

Itch Defense Lotion was awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance, which tell you something about the authenticity of this product.

The formula is fragrance-free and contains anti-itch ingredients such as Panthenol, Olive Oil and Shea Butter. If you have dry skin flare-ups and are looking for a lotion that offers relief and protection quickly and unobtrusively, try Curél Itch Defense Skin Balancing Lotion. You will know it is working, but all you will feel is relief.

Skincare for Men, but for Women, as well

Sometimes it is easy to forget that skin is not just a protective covering holding your insides in. Skin is an organ—an organ like your heart or your lungs. Skin is the body’s largest organ and it needs to be taken care of faithfully.

Skin is the body’s first line of defense and when it is healthy, it is able to withstand extreme conditions - heat, cold, wetness, dryness, abrasion - and even heal itself when damaged.

Vaseline has been making skincare products for some time now and lately they seem to have launched an impressive number of variations. Now they have a skincare line for men. The company states that men’s skin is thicker and more oily than women’s skin – so men need products that are specifically designed for their unique skin needs.

For men or women alike, lifestyle can dehydrate the skin without you even knowing it, since a day spent outdoors can drain at least ½ pint of water from skin and after a swim or a shower, it can take skin up to 8 hours to rehydrate.

Vaseline Men skin care products include:

Fast Absorbing Body & Face Lotion—the quick absorption is a plus for anyone.

Extra Strength Body & Face Lotion –this offers long lasting hydration to help severely dry skin heal itself

Extra Strength Hand Lotion -- relieves and heals dry, rough skin, including hands, elbows and feet, knees, and is also quick absorbing—important for anyone who doesn’t have time to wait for a greasy hand lotion to do its work so you can get on with yours.

There’s no reason women can’t use these skin care products as well, and while it may not seem necessary, other than the appeal of the new packaging, to have a skincare line just for men, if it gets them to protect and care for their skin, then, why not?
