For healthy skin

Dry skin plagues everyone at one time or another due to a variety of reasons. The effects of aging, changes in the weather, dry indoor heating or air conditioning, and harsh soaps or detergents are just a few causes of dry skin. Dry skin can result in flaking, rough patches, or deep cracks or fissures—which typically occur on the heels of the feet. But there’s no reason to suffer from dry skin any longer.

Follow these tips to keep your skin well moisturized all year long

During the winter

• Avoid exposing skin to wind and cold air
• Wear gloves, a scarf, and warm footwear
• Apply a moisturizer, such as AmLactin^®,
  to dry skin before going outside

During the summer

• Use sunscreen
• Drink at least 8 glasses of water each day
• Wear shoes and socks if you have dry cracked heels
• Apply extra moisturizer to affected areas

During bath time

• Use warm water when taking a bath or shower; hot water can dry out the skin
• Replace baths with showers; limit your bathing time
• Wash dry skin areas with a nonsoap cleanser
• Gently pat skin dry
• Apply moisturizer as soon as possible after bathing

And remember to use AmLactin^®

• To soften rough, dry skin, you may need a heavy-duty moisturizer such as AmLactin^®. The AmLactin^® family of body moisturizing lotions and creams contains a special alpha-hydroxy acid, which helps skin retain its natural moisture. And since AmLactin^® moisturizers are fragrance-free, they reduce the potential for skin irritation
