Hands, Shoulders, Knees and Heels: AmLactin® Ultra Hydrating Body Cream Works Where You Need it Most

MAPLE GROVE, Minn., Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The holidays have come and gone, but the stress of the season still remains—dry skin season, that is. Skin effectively protects us from the elements year-round, but during the cold winter months it needs a little extra TLC. Dry, cracked skin can be irritating and uncomfortable. With its patented ULTRAPLEX^® formula, AmLactin^® Ultra Hydrating Body Cream gently exfoliates and is clinically proven to intensely hydrate for long-lasting moisture, perfect for those severely dry areas—like hands, shoulders, knees and heels—that need extra attention.

"During the winter, our bodies are constantly exposed to harsh elements, from cold winds to hot showers" said New York Cosmetic Dermatologist, Dr. Doris Day. "Areas like hands and feet are especially vulnerable to exposure, which can cause skin to become dry and uncomfortable. I recommend a twice daily application of a thick, alpha-hydroxy rich moisturizer, like AmLactin^® Ultra Hydrating Cream, to these spots for serious relief from severe dry skin."
