Skin care for cold conditions

Exposure to the cold for long periods of time in a workplace can cause issues with dry skin and lead to severe long-term problems. Dry skin is an especially common problem during the winter when the humidity level outside drops, the air outside is cold and dry, and the water in the skin evaporates more quickly. 

Inadequate skin protection in workplaces, such as construction sites, can also seriously hamper workers’ productivity, particularly during the winter months. Also, developing an occupational skin disorder (OSD) can affect workers’ morale, reduce their earnings and have a negative impact on those around them – including friends and family.

Part of the Deb Stoko Range, Stokoderm Frost has a dual-action formula that prevents skin dryness and allows users to apply the cream at sub-zero temperatures to -30˚C without it freezing. Dermatologically tested, it is safe to use on the hands, face and any other exposed skin. Incorporating an anti-freeze effect, Stokoderm Frost is said to care for and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier when working in cold and freezing temperatures, and it helps maintain user comfort over the course of a working day.

It absorbs quickly into the skin, encouraging use by its ease of application. This is reinforced by the cream’s compatibility with gloves. It is suitable for outdoor workers and those working in refrigerated environments across the food, catering, warehousing and logistics, construction and mining industries.
