MAPLE GROVE, Minn., Oct. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ –Dark lipstick; thick, wooly scarves; and buttery leather boots are all reasons to get excited for fall fashion, but New York Cosmetic Dermatologist, Dr. Doris Day, suggests investing in the most basic aspect of any look—your skin. Changing temperatures and cold air can strip skin of its moisture, leading to dryness and discomfort. AmLactin® moisturizing lotions and creams are specially formulated with alpha-hydroxy therapy to gently exfoliate dry skin and retain moisture for soft, silky skin that never goes out of style.

"Skin’s overall condition and appearance is affected by a variety of conditions—from our habits to our genes—but often we neglect to adapt to our ever-changing environment," said New York Cosmetic Dermatologist, Dr. Doris Day. "When the weather changes dramatically, so can our skin. Artificial indoor heat that accompanies the switch from summer to fall, and fall to winter, can strip skin of its moisture, contributing to dryness," Dr. Day added. "Changing seasons give women endless opportunities to update their appearance with the latest trends, but the key to looking great is feeling comfortable in your own skin—which can be tough to do if it is rough and dry. To those seeking relief from seasonal discomfort I recommend a moisturizer containing lactic acid, like AmLactin® Moisturizing Body Lotion or AmLactin® Ultra Hydrating Body Cream with the patented ULTRAPLEX® formula for severe dry skin."
