During winter months the skin is prone to become dry, cracked, and barren due to the intense cold.  It is important to keep skin moisturized to prevent bleeding and also rashes from forming.  The hands tend to be the most vulnerable area of the skin, due to their exposure to the cold, and should be moisturized with skin care products each day.  Homeowners and businesses also tend to increase their heating in the winter, which, if skin is exposed to a dry atmosphere all day, can cause cracks and bleeding.  Depending on where you live, it might be necessary to apply cream or moisturizer to the face.  Though the face naturally produces more oil than other areas of skin, it can be vulnerable to extreme cold. 

With proper care in the winter season, your skin will not only look great, but will feel smooth and soft to the touch. 

Giving your spouse or partner a sensual massage can rejuvenate a relationship and reduce stress from a hard day at work.  Massage has been proven to relax tightened muscles, and also to alleviate stress (when done appropriately).  Fortunately the human body is very forgiving, and most people will like a massage even if you’re no good at it.  For all those people out there who are no good at massage (guys especially, we know who we are), you can increase the pleasure of a massage with oil or massage creme.  These not only tend increase sensual pleasure due to the smell, but are good for nourishing and moisturizing dry skin.

A massage with oil or creme eventually absorbs into the skin and leaves it feeling smooth, soft, and rejuvenated.

Sunburns leave skin red, cracked, dry, and without treatment can cause serious irritation and discomfort.  The best way to prevent sunburns is to wear sunscreen, this will also work to prevent skin cancer.  However, if you have already been sunburned, sunscreen can also be used as a skin moisturizer and to protect the skin from further damage.  There are also products officially marketed as a skin moisturizer that will work better than sunscreen, but won’t protect against UV rays.  Vaseline works well as a skin moisturizer for extreme cases of sunburn, but in such cases it may also be wise to consult a physician. 

Sunburn can be the cause for the development of serious medical conditions, so it’s best to avoid it whenever possible.  Tempting as it is to go outside without applying sunscreen, in this day and age, it’s risky.
