How to Protect Your Skin From Windburn

- by Zoey Nathan

Many people who are attracted to the outdoor activities or riding motorcycles are surprised when they realize they have become a victim of windburn. Thinking that they are safe from the sun as it is cloudy, cold and no longer in the middle of summer, they do not take the same steps needed as when they go into the sun.

The cause of windburn is primarily due to the removal of essential oils called lipids, which normally help to protect your skin from UV rays.

Tired of Campsite Toilets?

There are some good reasons for this. These toilets may often be poorly located. Worse still, they don’t seem to be cleaned as regularly as we may wish. This may leave them looking rather unhygienic. It’s understandable that we might not wish to use them in these circumstances.

So how can you deal with this situation? In one approach that some people decide to take is to discuss the problems with campsite owners. This can certainly be constructive, although some owners will not take kindly to such criticism.
