Boroleum® relieves Nasal Discomfort Due to Cold, Windy or Harsh Temperatures

Boroleum® Relieves Nasal Irritation Caused by Frigid, Windy & Harsh Conditions

For millions of Americans, spending time in the great outdoors is a way of life. But folks who work year-round in industries such as construction, farming, law enforcement, forest management and utilities know firsthand that when the temperature drops, comfort can be hard to come by. Skiers, hikers, snow boarders, boaters, kayakers, bicyclists, surfers and other outdoors enthusiasts also know the perils that accompany harsh weather conditions.

If you work or play in a region with extreme seasons, you're no doubt well aware of the effects of frigid temperatures and harsh weather. In frigid conditions, even people who are otherwise completely healthy may experience irritated, swollen nasal passages (or "Rudolph-nose"), a persistent case of cold-weather "sniffles", dry, raw skin caused by incessant nose-blowing and chapped lips. For some, windburn can also be a problem. Windburn is caused by a combination of low-humidity, windy conditions and/or very cold temperatures. This cold, dry weather strips exposed skin of it’s natural oils, leaving it red, dry and sore, and in severe cases can feel as painful as a sunburn. Most often, people get windburn on their faces, and children are especially at risk in Wintertime, as they spend long hours bicycling, ice-skating, sledding and playing outdoors.

For good reason, Boroleum® has been considered a Wintertime staple in American homes for over a century. Its mild, effective formulation provides gentle, soothing relief of many cold-weather nasal symptoms. Boroleum® moisturizes nasal passages and gently coats and protects raw, sore noses against Winters chill. It soothes and protects wind burned skin** and cracked or chapped lips.

It’s gentle formula is safe enough for children as young as two years of age, and can be used year-round.

Tips for Beating Winter's Chill

Whether you're spending a day out on the slopes, sailing on a windy autumn day or working in a refrigeration plant, nasal discomfort can result. Consider the following tips to staying warm, and beating Winter's chill!*

  • Wash hands thoroughly and often, especially during cold and flu season.
  • Try to keep your distance from anyone coughing or sneezing.
  • Get some rest: lack of sufficient sleep can leave you run down and susceptible to illness.
  • Eat a variety of healthy foods.
  • Consider taking a multi-vitamin. Your doctor can recommend one that's right for you.
  • Remind your children not to share drinks with friends at school or the park.
  • When preparing to go outside in cold weather, be aware of the "wind-chill factor" (i.e. the fact that windy conditions can cause much lower temperatures than displayed on the thermometer). To stay up to date, check your local weather forecast for your area each day.
