skin care products, skin creamThis weekend I'm going to Las Vegas and the first thing I'm putting in my bags are skin care products. I'll be there for five days, and the Las Vegas climate is brutal on my skin. It is so dry there. Having skin cream is absolutely essential to staying in Las Vegas any length of time. The skin care products I'm brining are the skin cream, of course, and then sun block lotions that have a high SPF. I plan on being outside a lot and don't want to come home with chapped or sunburned skin. Most people head for the casinos when they go to Vegas. I head to the hills to hike.

Skin care products are an essential way of life in the desert. The air is so dry that skin dries out within a few hours. With humidity levels below 15% almost all year long, desert dwellers don't go anywhere without a bottle of water, skin lotion, and lip moisturizers. Sunscreen is also an essential part of a good skin care program in sunny locations like Las Vegas and the surrounding mountains.
