Olay Body Teams Up with Olympic Snowboarder Jamie Anderson to Reduce Winter Skin Dryness

Olay Body also joined forces with Oro Valley, Ariz-based dermatologist Dr. Sheila Farhang to share tips to winter-proof shower routines.

Olay Body is teaming up with professional snowboarder and 2X Olympic gold medalist, Jamie Anderson, to give women the tools they need to combat the snow and freezing temperatures that take a toll on skin. 

Olay Body also joined forces with Oro Valley, Ariz-based dermatologist Sheila Farhang, MD to share tips to winter-proof shower routines.

"I love the winter because I get to ride the mountains and do what I love, but the snow and freezing temperatures take a toll on my skin," says Anderson, a professional snowboarder, in a news release. "A big part of being fearless is feeling good in my skin, and Olay’s Premium Body Care Collection really sets the tone for the day by moisturizing my skin from the second I jump out of the shower."

To learn more about how Jamie achieves visibly healthy skin throughout the winter, Olay Body met with her on the slopes to capture an exclusive interview that can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JLSy_vFPo8&feature=youtu.be.

"It's important for women like Jamie who spend their days and nights outside in low temperatures to protect their skin with not only warm clothing but also products that are formulated with ingredients that moisturize to improve the skin barrier," says Dr. Farhang. "I always recommend Olay’s Premium Body Wash to my patients during the winter because it improves skin three times better than the leading competitor, boosts the skin's moisture barrier, and improves skin dryness."

Dr. Farhang recommends the following three tips to brave the winter elements:

• Tip #1: I advise my patients to decrease shower length and use tepid water temperature instead of hot, especially in the winter. A hot shower may feel fantastic in the morning or after a long chilly day, but hot water actually strips away the skin's natural oils and disrupts surface lipids and proteins. This damage results in dry, irritated skin.
• Tip #2: Use a body cleanser that gets moisture deep into the skin's surface. Most traditional soaps strip away the skin's natural oils, but the products in the Olay Premium Body Wash Collection are formulated with supercharged ingredients, including niacinamide. With their unique lock-in-moisture technology, these formulas infuse moisture 10 layers deep without leaving a coated feeling on the skin.
• Tip #3: Moisturizing is key to your skin surviving cold temperatures. For an extra dose of moisture, instead of lotion, consider adding an in-shower moisturizer to your daily body care routine like Olay’s Rinse-Off Body Conditioner. Many lotions only provide temporary relief and have to be reapplied during your day. Olay’s Rinse-Off Body Conditioner fights dryness all day so you won’t need to apply moisturizer out of the shower.
