Calendula is Essential for Healthy Winter Skin
An arctic blast of wintry weather crossed much of the United States this week, leaving many of us suffering from dry hands and chapped lips. To help heal these skin irritations, try Calendula. No winter first aid kit should be without Calendula officinalis, made from the Garden marigold and used topically for generations to naturally speed the skin’s healing process. If you love skiing, snowboarding, sledding and other winter sports, or if you have sensitive skin easily irritated by the cold winter months, Calendula is your must-have medicine for healing chapped skin, wind burn, chaffing, rashes and other minor irritations.
Boiron Calendula topicals are available in cream, lotion and ointment formulas. The soothing and moisturizing texture of Calendula Cream works best on sensitive skin. The water-based Calendula Lotion works well as a general hand and body lotion and covers large surfaces (i.e., rash). And the occlusive formula of Calendula Ointment adheres to skin longer to promote healing by protecting and moisturizing the wound. These paraben-free formulas do not have a medicinal smell and do not contain artificial colors or perfumes.
Watch this short video to learn how New York-based plastic surgeon Shirley Madhère, MD, uses Calendula in her practice and why she recommends it to her patients for everyday skin irritations. So whether you’re hitting the slopes, building a snowman, or just trying to heal your dry, cracked hands and lips, Calendula is your go-to product all winter long.
