Skin Care
Basic Skin Care
(NC)-Our skin goes through a great deal of hardship in the course of a regular day. It is greatly influenced by our exposure to environmental factors-changes in weather, chemicals, excessive washing and cleansing, extensive work with water-all these take their toll eventually, and we usually realize it when it's too late. What happens is that the natural oils in your body quickly evaporate (especially if you wash your hands often), and they are not given enough time to replenish themselves naturally. The result: skin that is dry, cracked and even bleeds. Dry indoor air, people whose hands are often submerged in water or who work with chemicals, even household products are the culprits behind this potentially serious problem.
Treatment
Prevention is always the best medicine. Wearing protective gloves, increasing the humidity level in your home or at work are ways to help avoid dry skin problems. However, gloves are not always convenient or socially acceptable, so using a cream that not only seals it to avoid moisture loss, but also protects the skin is crucial to proper skin care. A uniquely formulated cream called Prevex, offers excellent long-lasting protection against external irritants. It seals the skin, allowing it to retain its natural moisture, without leaving a greasy feeling. It does not attract dirt and does not need reapplying after every hand washing, since it lasts for up to six washings. Products like Prevex Cream that do not contain perfumes or fragrance are an added benefit because of potential allergies. Unfortunately, most traditional moisturizers contain these and can cause serious problems, especially if the skin is already inflamed.
