Winter brings its fair share of qualms, but few are as universally familiar as dry skin. As temperatures continue to reach all-time lows far and wide, drugstore skin care darling CeraVe has come to the rescue with the \u201cSkincident Hotline,\u201d a real, working number you can call when your skin takes a turn for the worse.<\/p>\n
A \u201cskincident,\u201d as described by the brand, \u201cis the unexpected moment when dry skin makes an unwanted appearance\u2014like when you cross your legs and your ankles look desert-dry, or that awkward handshake where hands feel cracked and parched.\u201d The play on words may be tongue-in-cheek, but the concept isn\u2019t a gimmick. <\/p>\n
The Skincident Hotline runs Monday through Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. ET. During live hours, callers can receive expert moisturization advice and, while supplies last, a free full-size CeraVe body moisturizer to combat your dry skin woes. Outside of those hours, a 24\/7 pre-recorded experience is available, featuring tips from Evansville, IN dermatologist and CeraVe partner Dylan Greeney, MD, along with information on the brand\u2019s body-care lineup.<\/p>\n
The Skincident Hotline will be available to dial through February 27 at 844-SKINCIDENT (844-754-6243)<\/strong>, leaving just enough time to help skin hang on through winter\u2019s final stretch. And if you\u2019re phone-shy, NewBeauty spoke with Dr. Greeney for a deeper dive into what everyone needs to know about dry skin.
