Quick splash for dry skin ''
You may have to shower oflen each day if you
exercise or work out on a regular basis. But taking
several showers dally canleatt to dry skin, especially
when the humidity levels am tow
If you must aKoWer often, try to keep them short, ;
and cooler. Hot water robs your body of oil faster
Also, try using "super-fatted* soaps such as Dove,
Lowila, or Basis, rather than antibacterial or ;
deodorant soaps, and rinse quickly. While you're still
wet after bathing, apply a moisturize^ which helps
to replace natural oils
We want you to stay healthy, inside and out!
