What Does Windburn Do to Your skin?

---

Norman Levine, M.D., chief of dermatology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine Health Sciences Center explains, "Wind causes the loss of the oil layer on your skin. And when your skin dries out excessively, you get an irritation that looks and feels like a real burn. To reverse the effect of windburn, you need to add that oil layer back to your skin."

How InfiniteAloe® Can Help When You Have Windburn

---

InfiniteAloe® Skin Care contains many beneficial ingredients to aid in soothing windburn including organic Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Miller) to care for your burnt skin. Organic Aloe Vera contains eight life-giving enzymes, 20 powerful amino acids, and sterols of potent anti-inflammatory agents as well as strong saponins that act as antiseptics. Saponins are known to be particularly helpful in pain relief. There are many reports that saponins elevate the body's production of cortisone, which reduces irritation, tenderness, and swelling.

Studies suggest that Rose Hips Oil, Panax Ginseng Root Extract and Comfrey Leaf extract that are also key ingredients of InfiniteAloe® Skin Care that can soothe and cool your sunburn and speed skin repair.

Soft, Smooth Skin

---

InfiniteAloe® Skin Care also contains a cutting-edge, natural ingredient called Sodium Hyaluronate (or Hyaluronic Acid), which is the key water regulating substance in the skin. Widely used by celebrities and injected by doctors for expensive beauty treatments, when applied to the skin, it can form an air permeable layer to keep the skin moist and smooth. Small molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid can penetrate into the dermis layer, fully combine with water, promote skin blood microcirculation and nutrient absorption and maintain normal metabolism. As a result, it can play a role in wrinkle reduction, better-appearing skin and repair from windburn.

How to Use InfiniteAloe® When You Have Windburn

---

1. Re-warm the skin gently. Don't subject your skin to extreme temperature changes; no matter how cold you are when you come indoors, don't stand next to a heater or roaring fire. Allow the heat of the room to warm your skin gradually.
2. Elevate inflamed hands and feet as they are being re-warmed to minimize the swelling.
3. Apply InfiniteAloe® Skin Care generously and often to the affected skin.
4. Drink plenty of water.

Avoiding Windburn

---

1. The sun is often a factor in windburn, so wear sunscreen even in cold, dry, windy weather.
2. The low humidity levels and long-term use of central heating during winter may cause dry skin and worsen windburn. If possible, use a humidifier indoors.
3. After bathing or showering, use the "three minute rule" - apply InfiniteAloe® Skin Care within three minutes of taking your bath or shower.
4. Cover up thoroughly. Your nose, lips, ears and neck are particularly susceptible to windburn, so wear earmuffs or a hat, with a scarf or facemask to cover your nose and lips. If you ride a motorcycle, use protective gear. (Some dermatologists recommend a shell that can be zipped high over the chin with a hood around your face to shield your skin from that drying wind.)
5. Drink more water to keep well hydrated.
6. Apply InfiniteAloe® Skin Care as often as needed; at least twice a day.
7. Use only mild soaps or non-soap cleansers.
8. Use lip balm.
9. Know the wind chill factor and use extra caution. As the wind chill sends the temperature dropping, the chance of windburn increases.
10. If you know you are going to be spending time outside in "windburn conditions" refrain from shaving or washing your face that morning, if possible. This avoids removing your skin's natural oils.
