Giveaway-November National Healthy Skin Month

I like getting tips from the experts.  When the weather drops so do some people's healthy habits, including skin care.  I suffer from winter's itch, do you?

Did you know that November is National Healthy Skin Month?  

Dermatologist Dr. Jeanine Downie is revealing her top five tips to keep your skin healthy this month and all winter long!

1.  The best way to keep your skin hydrated is to moisturize daily.  This time of year, I love the AVEENO® Skin Relief 24HR Moisturizing Lotion, which keeps my skin super hydrated, so it is not dry and flaky.

2.  Opt for hydrating body washes and in shower cleansers!  I use an unscented, hydrating body wash.  I then get out of the shower and towel dry before I moisturize. 

3.  Pay attention to hands, feet, elbows and knees, which frequently can become dry, cracked or irritated. Keep them covered with protective clothing and look for a healing ointment, with ingredients like glycerin, like AVEENO® Skin Relief Healing Ointment, to help soothe irritated skin.

4.  Healthy skin is protected skin.  Everyone should wear sunscreen every day, no matter the time of year!  I recommend an SPF 30 or above for the face and body.  Reapplication is also very important.  The incidence of skin cancer is rising in all ethnicities – I cannot stress the importance of sunscreen enough.

5.  Everyone should visit have a full body skin cancer screening once a year by a board certified dermatologist.  If you have an increased risk or family history of skin cancer, you may need them more frequently.

***Disclosure-No compensation was received.  Informational post only.

Did you go see Thor?  Did you see Captain America?  If you didn't know, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” releases April 4, 2014.

After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” finds Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy—the Winter Soldier.

Jackson as Nick Fury.
