Here in Chicago, we truly experience Winter. Snow, sleet, cold temperatures, and blustery wind have shown us all what it means to be a true Chicagoan. Living in this great city means you need all the gear from boots to heavy coats to scarves and anything else you can think of. Even though there are downsides to the cold months (ever try driving in a sudden blizzard??) we do get out as a family to enjoy the snow when it arrives. My kids both LOVE the snow and we live *this close* to a sledding hill so that’s our favorite winter activity by far. You haven’t lived until you have heard the squeals (joy mixed with a touch of fear) from your children going down a huge snow hill! These are some of my favorite moments as a parent.
However, being out in the cold and snow really takes a toll on the skin. The combination of low temperatures and wind have my skin dry and cracking in an instant. This time around, I prepared my skin with Vaseline® Intensive Care™ Advanced Repair Fragrance Free lotion. I applied my lotion before we went out sledding with the family instead of waiting until after. I concentrate on my hands because they feel the effects the most. By preparing my skin for the conditions, I got a head start on healing my dry and cracked skin! The micro-droplets of Vaseline Jelly in Vaseline® Intensive Care™ lotions deeply moisturize and protect the skin.
I have been very happy with Vaseline® Intensive Care™ Advanced Repair Fragrance Free lotion this Winter! I use it to prepare my skin BEFORE winter activities as well as AFTER being out in the cold. It has kept my skin prepared for the cold and feeling extra hydrated. Just what I need for these Chicago winters!

How do you prepare your skin for winter fun?
So much fun! I wish we could do that here! Sounds like they had a blast and looks like it too. Vaseline is a brand I haven’t used in a while – the lotion anyway – I’ll surely give it a go again.

It really is a lot of fun! I SO envy you in Hawaii though, it’s my daydream destination :). Hope you give Vaseline a try!
Vaseline is a go to brand for me. And yes in Chicago we had a mild start to winter but the past few weeks have been kind of brutal!

For sure!
Great idea! I haven’t had to worry about that in a while, living in Florida, but I do try to keep my hands moisturized!
