As we creep into the winter months, the moisture levels in our skin take a beating as cold dry air just sucks the moisture right out of our body. To make matters worse, the things we do to stay warm can actually do more damage. So, replenishing the skin with extra hydration is vital to prevent the unattractive, itchy and dry skin that we all seem to hate.
Enter Aquaphor Healing Ointment – an all-purpose ointment made with glycerin, Lanolin, Provitamin B5 and chamomile essence to moisturize, soothe and heal extremely dry, chapped or cracked skin caused by winter weather or frequent hand washing. It even helps heal raw, irritated skin caused by radiation treatments, facial resurfacing procedures and minor burns or cuts to restore smooth, healthy skin.
Since I have naturally dry skin, Aquaphor healing ointment has actually been a long time favorite for winter weather blues. The dermatologist-recommended formula has no fragrance, dyes or preservatives so there’s zero irritation, and anyone with sensitive or irritable skin would love it! The same great formula, that’s also available in the baby aisle, worked wonders on my little one’s eczema when she was an infant.
Aquaphor Lip Repair + Protect SPF 30 not only immediately soothes and helps heal severly dry, chapped lips but also provides broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection against harsh UVA/UVB rays. Specially formulated for sensitive lips with moisturizing ingredients like Shea Butter, Vitamin E and Panthenol, this scent-free lip balm offers long-lasting relief from dryness. My only little qualm with this lip balm is the chemical suncreen formula. Although it’s broad-spectrum SPF, I have a strong preference for Zinc-oxide/Titanium dioxide based suncreen products.

I hope I can enter by commenting. I do not have a Facebook account (guess I will eventually have to give in and get one ). I’d love to win this package because I walk for daily exercise and the cold and drier air really do a number on my skin and lips.
Whether or not this counts as an entry, I enjoy your blog and will continue to read it.
