Helps with these environmental & lifestyle factors:

Keeps your skin hydrated and supple by locking in moisture even if you live in a region with dry air. Air that lacks humidity tends to dry skin out and cause itching, flaking or cracking of the skin.
Keeps your skin healthy even if you spend a lot of time in the sun. The sun's heat dries out areas of unprotected skin and ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause burning and photoaging.
Keeps your skin as its best even when you are jet-setting around the world. It prevents acne and redness flare-ups triggered by travel stress and fights skin dryness caused by cabin air.
