Dear <%firstname%>,
Winter is a wonderful time of the year - except for winter driving, endless snow shovelling, winter sport injuries, chapped and dry skin, colds and flus... Is the thought of black ice and white snow giving you the blues? It needn't be. Being prepared can make winter an enjoyable and safe time of the year. Here's how...

Let it snow...
Sing along while you let it snow, let it snow, let it snow - but you know that eventually you'll have to reach for that shovel and start digging out. But this, too, can be fun as long as you keep a few things in mind when shovelling.

Don't get stuck in the snow
A winter car tune-up can help reduce your worries about winter driving. Take it to a garage for a tune-up and inspection to help prevent problems. Make sure that your brakes work well to prevent skidding. Cooling and electrical systems must be in good working condition. Put fresh anti-freeze in, and make sure that all electrical connections are clean and tight, especially if your car's battery is getting old. Remember, cold weather is hard on batteries.

Winter skin care
While seasons change, one thing remains constant: the sun. No matter what season it is, it's still shining, and you still need a sunscreen to protect your skin against harmful ultraviolet rays. Wear makeup or a moisturizer with sun protection factor (SPF) 15 on your face and all exposed areas of skin throughout the winter to help protect your skin against sun's damaging rays. If you participate in winter sports, apply sunscreen with high SPF. The sunlight-reflecting quality of snow can leave you with a severe sunburn from a day on the slopes. Apply sunscreen especially if you are using a tretinoin-containing product, such as Retin-A or Renova, as it makes you more prone to sunburn. And don't forget your lips. Make sure you wear lip balm or lipstick with sunscreen.

Rough sledding?
Every year, emergency departments treat children injured in sliding accidents. When minor bruises and bumps give way to broken bones and serious injuries of the head and spinal cord, it's a sign that parents and children should be reminded of safety while playing outside.
