BEVERLY HILLS, CA, January 20, 2013 (Press-News.org) Dry skin is an extremely common skin condition that has Americans spending millions of dollars on dry skin care treatments. No one wants to suffer from the uncomfortable itch of dry skin or the unsightly flakes and cracks it can cause. The best way to keep dry skin from occurring is to avoid the common causes that can be easily eliminated from daily routines. Below are some of the common causes of dry skin along with tips on what anyone can do to keep their skin soft and silky.
Cold weather: During the colder winter months the humidity level drops and skin loses moisture more rapidly. The frigid bite of icy cold winds can also irritate skin causing it to become chapped, red, and sometimes even painfully raw. Before playing in the snow be sure to apply a shielding lotion to help skin retain more moisture and avoid the burn of chapped winter skin.
Frequent hand washing: Many health care professionals and people in the service industry are required to frequently wash their hands for safety purposes. The constant exposure to water and the harsh chemicals usually contained in antibacterial hand soaps causes dry cracked hands. Starting the day off by using a lotion that is water resistant and re applying as directed can help avoid the cracked fingertips from hand washing.
Dr. Peter Helton, board-certified dermatologist states:
"Skin MD Natural has also an added benefit of forming a natural barrier, sealant on the skin, keeping its own natural moisture inside, This eliminates the need for having to put an external moisturizer several times during the day, as Skin MD lasts a good portion of 8 hours with one application. This is important, because it decreases your need for applying excess moisturizer and allows body to take care of its own moisture needs without the added bother of putting on another cream."
Misuse of moisturizers: Many moisturizers only coat skin with a greasy layer of chemicals and actually do very little to heal dry skin. In fact, many of them contain toxic ingredients that can actually damage and irritate skin. The only way to truly heal dry skin is by using a lotion designed to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out like Skin MD Natural. Skin MD Natural is a shielding lotion that strengthens the skins own natural barrier to protect against irritation and stop dry skin before it starts.
Hot showers and baths: Nothing is more relaxing than a nice long hot bath or shower after a long day, but there is also nothing that will dry skin faster. Hot water strips skin of its own moisturizing oils causing it to become dry and itchy.
Now that the winter season is in full swing, it is important to use the best moisturizer for dry skin. Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion was developed by a team of innovative chemists, with over twenty years of experience developing personal care products for many internationally respected cosmetic companies. It is formulated with a special blend of five natural plant extracts that provide skin with unbeatable moisture while being lightweight and non-greasy. Skin MD Natural is also committed to protecting the environment and is proud to say Skin MD Natural and Skin MD Natural + SPF 15 are manufactured in the United States using 100% solar power, free of animal products and animal testing.

Poor sleep can leave romantic partners feeling unappreciated
2013-01-19
Spouses and other romantic partners often complain about feeling unappreciated, and a new study from the University of California, Berkeley, suggests poor sleep may play a hidden role.
A UC Berkeley study looking into how sleep habits impact gratitude found that sleep deprivation can leave couples "too tired to say thanks" and can make one or the other partner feel taken for granted.
"Poor sleep may make us more selfish as we prioritize our own needs over our partner's," said Amie Gordon, a UC Berkeley psychologist and lead investigator of the study, which she conducted ...

2013-01-19
January 19, 2013 – New Orleans – We all know that getting a good night's sleep is good for our general health and well-being. But new research is highlighting a more surprising benefit of good sleep: more feelings of gratitude for relationships.
"A plethora of research highlights the importance of getting a good night's sleep for physical and psychological well-being, yet in our society, people still seem to take pride in needing, and getting, little sleep," says Amie Gordon of the University of California, Berkeley. "And in the past, research has shown that gratitude ...
When mom is the CEO at home, workplace ambitions take a back seat
2013-01-19
It's often said that women can have it all – motherhood and a successful career. But a new study from the University of California, Berkeley, suggests that women who rule the household have less energy for or interest in being a rising star in the workplace.
While household decision-making power was highly valued by both men and women who participated in the UC Berkeley study, women reported that running the home made them less likely to pursue promotions and other career advancement steps at the office. This was not the case for men, whose work goals were unchanged by ...
Charting new routes for women at work: Looking to the home and classroom
2013-01-19
January 18, 2013 – New Orleans – When mom is the boss at home, she may have a harder time being the boss at work. New research suggests that women, but not men, become less interested in pursuing workplace power when they view that they are in control of decision-making in the home. This shift in thinking affects career choices without women even being aware.
"Women don't know that they are backing off from workplace power because of how they are thinking about their role at home," says Melissa Williams of Emory University. "As a result, women may make decisions such ...
Study provides new insights on drought predictions in East Africa
2013-01-19
With more than 40 million people living under exceptional drought conditions in East Africa, the ability to make accurate predictions of drought has never been more important. In the aftermath of widespread famine and a humanitarian crisis caused by the 2010-2011 drought in the Horn of Africa—possibly the worst drought in 60 years— researchers are striving to determine whether drying trends will continue.
While it is clear that El Niño can affect precipitation in this region of East Africa, very little is known about the drivers of long-term shifts in rainfall. However, ...

Complex spinal surgeries with 2 attending physicians, instead of 1, benefit patients
2013-01-19
Two heads are better than one, as the saying goes – and a new study by a duo at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) demonstrates how having two attending surgeons in the operating room during spinal surgeries can benefit patients in multiple ways.
Most spinal surgeries in the United States are performed by teams led by a single attending surgeon – one top-level doctor who has completed medical school, residency and other specialized training.
In 2007, two spinal surgeons in the Departments of Neurological Surgery and Orthopedic Surgery joined forces and ...
Climate change's effects on temperate rain forests surprisingly complex
2013-01-19
Longer, warmer growing seasons associated with a changing climate are altering growing conditions in temperate rain forests, but not all plant species will be negatively affected, according to research conducted by the U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Northwest Research Station.
Research featured in the January 2013 issue of Science Findings—a monthly publication of the station—reveals a complex range of forest plant responses to a warming climate.
"Although the overall potential for growth increases as the climate warms, we found that plant species differ in their ability ...
