| In the winter, when my skin becomes more dry, is there something I can do or use to prevent my legs from becoming dry and chaffed after I shave? |

| Yes, living in a cold climate, skin is constantly attacked by exposure to the wind, the cold, dry heat and low humidity. When we shave, we remove some natural barriers that protect moisture loss.

| QUESTION |
| I want my skin to look its best. I get so confused as to 'what's right for me' when I listen to all the commercials and the salespeople at the cosmetic counters. How do I know which to believe and trust without spending a small fortune? |
|
| |
| Your best choice is always a medically trained professional. I cringe when I hear someone with oily skin being told to use alcohol based toners or an abrasive facial scrub. Yet, do you ever hear a salesperson at cosmetic counters or fashion magazines inform you about the latest FDA-approved sunscreen ingredient or risk of over moisturizing? A trained medical professional will be able to customize your treatment plan after reviewing your medical history. They will monitor your treatment and progress regularly. This is definitely your best selection. |

| QUESTION |
| Is the SPF of 15 in the LEXLI Sunscreen sufficient protection? |
|
| |
| A common misconception is that the higher the SPF value in a sunscreen, the better the protection. This is not true. The difference between SPF 15 and SPF 100 is only 6% added protection. The FDA considers all sunscreens with SPF 15 and higher in the same category. Practicing safe sun exposure requires more than just applying sunscreen. IT requires common sense. As good as some sunscreens are, they are not the total answer. Activities such as fishing or going to the beach for the day are not a problem as long as you have total quality protection. This means investing in hats, visors, sunglasses, protective clothing, and a sunscreen with an SPF of 15. |

These ingredients are heavy and you need LEXLI makeup remover to prepare your face for your next step of proper skin care, the cleanser. |
