We're in the middle of a long, cold winter, and it's wreaking havoc on skin, and Vaseline is on a mission to rescue it and help everyone have "good skin days" with Vaseline Intensive Rescue.

Women are especially vulnerable to dry skin, as a matter of fact, according to Vaseline:

o 77% of women say their dry skin makes them physically uncomfortable
o 86% of women report their quality of life is affected by dry skin
o More than half (53%) of women say they think about dry skin every day
o The majority of women (54%) have more bad skin days than good
- 47% of women say they would give up eating out for a month to make every day a good skin day and 39% say they would give up their favorite dessert

I got to try out some Vaseline Intensive Rescue lotion (they sent me some to try) and it's non-sticky, light and It doesn't have fragrance, and I thought it absorbed quickly. I've had trouble with dry patches on my elbows, and I have to say they're not there at all, anymore (The dry patches, not my elbows. My elbows are still there.)

Vaseline Intensive Rescue products include:
- Intensive Rescue Repairing Moisture – Repairs and softens skin
- Intensive Rescue Soothing Moisture – Repairs and softens skin; features light chamomile scent
- Intensive Rescue Clinical Therapy – Prescription strength moisturization available over the counter

Vaseline even recently enlisted some bloggers in the Dry Skin Patrol, sending them on "missions" to some of the coldest places in the country. The tour visited The Philadelphia Marathon, Winternational in Aspen, Polar Bear Club in Coney Island and Bear Grease Dogsledding in Duluth, MN.

From now until March 31, 2011 you could win your own trip to one of these destinations by following the video adventures of the Dry Skin Patrol on the Official Vaseline Facebook Page
