With winter storms blowing across the country and cold weather taking its toll on our skin, it’s time to protect our body’s largest organ...the skin. Our skin is a protective barrier that helps defend our bodies from disease and contaminants from our environment. Caring for your skin and keeping it smooth and supple will not only make you look and feel good; it can help to keep some diseases and infection at bay.

Good skincare begins with a warm, not hot, shower or bath. A good emollient cleanser or soap is essential. Buy a good exfoliating sponge or mitt to help rid your body of dry flakey skin. Try using a body wash with aloe vera to calm newly exfoliated skin. If your skin is delicate, exfoliate lightly. Don’t forget your feet. Use a pumice or foot file to take care of calloused skin.

After your shower, it is imperative to moisturize your skin. This is where quality counts! Key West Aloe has aloe vera moisturizing products that will help heal and calm your skin, giving it greater elasticity and leaving you without irritation. Aloe vera is Mother Nature’s answer to great skincare. If you have sensitive skin, there’s no better product. Moisturize all over, not just legs and arms. Skin dries out in overheated rooms and windy, cold climates. It’s important to moisturize every day to keep your skin glowing.

If you are a skier, snowboarder or spend extended time outdoors, you MUST protect your skin. Reflected UVA and UVB rays from the sun are magnified by snow. Thus, your risk for skin damage is increased with snow and altitude as the ozone layer thins. Don’t forget to pack Key West Aloe’s sun protection products in your ski bag or the glove box of your car. They are PABA free and gentle on your skin while giving it soothing protection from wind burn. Always use products with spf 30 or above for good daily protection from the sun’s damaging rays.
