The Skin Care Benefits of Vitamin E

Just as a fish needs water, your body needs Vitamin E. Not only does it nourish the skin to help repair, replenish and fortify its underlying dermis layer, Vitamin E's antioxidant properties also help counteract the pollutants you come into contact with every day. When used regularly, Vitamin E helps minimize lipid loss while it supports your skin’s natural SPF defenses. And you can’t help but love that Vitamin E also stimulates collagen and elastin, helping your skin appear younger. For therapeutic levels of Vitamin E and daily hydration to ensure your skin stays healthy, try Gold Bond Ultimate Daily Moisturizing.

Dealing With Ashy Skin

Ashy skin, also known as Xeroderma, is simply a condition involving dry and flaky skin. However, when it occurs in dark skin, the complexion takes on a gray, ashy appearance.* The simple solution is to moisturize. The smart solution is to use Gold Bond Ultimate lotions and creams that offer up to 24-hour moisturization. Although all of our products will help decrease the appearance of ashy skin, Gold Bond Ultimate Softening with Shea Butter is an ideal healing solution.  

Defense Against Premature Aging

As we age, our skin naturally thins and becomes less elastic and more fragile. Decreased production of natural oils makes your skin drier and appear more wrinkled.* Gold Bond Ultimate offers an array of products that contain moisturizers and vitamins A, C and E, which can improve elasticity, help reduce wrinkles, promote skin development enhance protective function of skin and minimize lipid loss – which all translates into fighting and reversing the signs of premature aging.

Dry Feet Equals Painful Feet

When you think of dry, cracked feet we tend to think of the physical, visual condition and not medical conditions that can occur to them if not properly treated. Left untreated, dry, cracked feet can result in deep fissures that make it not only horribly, painful to walk or stand on, but in some cases, bleeding and infections can occur. Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Foot Therapy Cream is specially formulated to help heal and prevent extremely dry, rough feet and heels before they get bad. So your feet won’t just look better, they’ll feel better.  

Chapped About Chapped Skin

There are three main causes of chapped skin: Cold weather, which sucks moisture out of your skin. Licking your lips, which causes any moisture present to evaporate and become dry. And having poor skin barrier function, which allows irritants to seep into your skin and cause inflammation and itching.* Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Concentrated Therapy Ointment and Cream are the ideal solutions to protect your skin from all three causes of chapping.  

Shea Butter Benefits

If you have children, you most likely already have heard about the amazing benefits of shea butter. This fatty substance is found in the nuts of the shea tree and is a natural way to enhance moisturization and elasticity. In short, it helps make your skin silky-smooth and can even help lessen the appearance of stretch marks. Some doctors even recommend using products that contain shea butter three or four times a day.* Gold Bond Ultimate Softening Skin Therapy Cream and Lotion contain Shea Butter, plus skin nourishing vitamins A, C and E, and a silk peptide matrix.  

CoQ10 – The King of Antioxidants

CoQ10 is believed to have the desired health benefit of helping reduce the signs of premature aging ont he skin. Many studies have been published to back these findings. Two in particular we find very interesting: A study in the Journal Cosmetic Dermatology found that CoQ10 reduced inflammation in the skin, and therefore may protect against premature aging due to sun exposure. Another study, from the journal BioFactors, revealed that supplementation with CoQ10 reduced oxidative stress in the skin, and reduced the breakdown of collagen following UVA irradiation.* Want to see the benefits of CoQ10 for yourself? Try Gold Bond Ultimate Restoring Skin Therapy Lotion and Cream.  

Germs: They Are Everywhere

We all know there are germs in places like public bathrooms and on elevator buttons, but you might be surprised to learn that a typical ATM has been proven to have more germs than a public restroom doorknob. And a public picnic table is typically more germy than a Port-A-Potty.* So when you're not sure who's been touching what, it's time to reach for Gold Bond Ultimate Sanitizer Moisturizer. Its an alcohol-free 2-in-1 formula that kills 99.99% of germs while providing long-lasting moisturization.  

Sun Exposure: UVB vs. UVA

Mothers have been telling us to put on sunscreen for years, but what they never really told us is what type to use. These days some sunscreens protect against UVB rays, others against UVA rays and some protect against both. But what's the difference in the rays? According to WebMD, "UVB rays cause sunburns and UVA rays cause tanning. And while UVA rays damage skin's appearance both types of rays contribute to the risk of developing skin cancer." That's why putting on your sunscreen is so important even if you're only outside a little bit at a time. The perfect solution is Gold Bond Ultimate Protection Skin Therapy Lotion. It is the right combination of moisturizers and vitamins, and it provides an SPF 15 UVA/UVB protective barrier.  

No More Chafing

Chafing is defined as “to rub so as to wear away.”* When you walk, exercise or do any activity that causes two things to consistently rub together, they warm up, which can lead to red, raw, painful skin. So essentially, you rub away the healthy skin. And since there are some activities such as walking that you really can’t eliminate from your life, there are plenty of Gold Bond Ultimate products to help prevent and heal the discomfort of chafing. You can sprinkle on some Gold Bond Ultimate Comfort Body Powder every morning to help prevent chafing, or try Gold Bond Ultimate Healing Concentrated Therapy Cream and Ointment to treat skin that is susceptible to painful chafing.  

Dermatologist Tested and Hypoallergenic

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) report that more than 50 million Americans are affected by allergic diseases.* Gold Bond products are designed to help people – with and without allergies. So that's why all of our lotions and creams are dermatologist tested and proven hypoallergenic. And some are even fragrance free, for the particularly sensitive.
