    Winter’s Indoor Heating Can Lead To Summer Like Chafing

    The weather is still cold outside and forced air furnaces blow hot dry air out into homes, offices and other public places all winter long. Better than freezing, the furnaces make indoors livable but often at a price and the price is chafing from sweaty skin that can stay moist when traditional cotton underwear is worn. People who sweat excessively in summer will still sweat in the winter and will also benefit from wearing a garment that wicks away and dries sweat before any type of chafing can begin regardless of the time of year.

    You Are Still Sweating

    People who sweat a lot in the warmer weather months are still prone to do so in winter, especially if there is a sirocco like wind blowing out of the furnace at home, work or school. “People will bundle up to go outside, drive to work, the gym or wherever, but once inside are overheated,” said corporate spokesman and frequent jock itch sufferer Nick Heraldson said. “It is tough to cool down while wearing business/work attire and more challenging still to justify opening a window, or cranking the A/C when it’s snowing, sleeting, freezing or blowing cold outside. Your colleagues will speak ill of you, so adopt the right type of garment and avoid the whole issue.”

    Butt Cracks Still Get Sweaty in Winter

    Sweating below the belt line in winter makes the human cracks and crevices more likely to chafe because of the underwear they wear. “The chafing condition is exacerbated by traditional cotton blends of underwear that will hold moisture for long periods of time,” said Heraldson. “Your sagging wet underwear will grind against your skin and lead to chafing, rashes and infection, even if the temperature outside is freezing.”

    Skip the Products Wear the Right Underwear

    There are lots of products men can use to combat the chafing from a sweaty crotch and many are very good. But there are plenty of downsides for these including the smell, the mess and the fact that they have to be replaced. “No matter how good some of these ointments, unguents and poultices may be they are not sustainable and only treat the symptoms,” Heraldson said. “Our underwear removes the cause of chafing in the first place, so no one has to buy any of these stinky, sticky, clothing staining products over and over again.”

    If You Still Chafe Here Is What To Do

    Chafing will heal on its own within a couple of days if the problem is addressed; your sweatybackside and chafe inducing underwear. “Treat butt chafing like anything else,” Heraldson recommended. “Let the skin heal overnight by leaving the area exposed to air while you sleep. If there is abrasion or blistering on the skin surface, petroleum jelly and a light bandage or gauze can be applied until the skin heals over.”

    The last thing to make swamp chafe better is to keep doing and wearing the same thing that led to chafing in the first place. “If an activity causes chafing, stop doing that,” Heraldson said. “Otherwise you are just stupid and deserve to have an adult case of diaper rash.” 

    While Your Skin is Recovering:

    • Do not try to clean chaffed skin with hydrogen peroxide or iodine, as these chemicals can actually hinder the healing process. Instead, clean with mild soap and water or just a saline solution.
    • Do not shower in extremely hot water or use harsh soaps, both of which make the skin overly dry and more susceptible to damage. 
    • Always pat skin dry. Rubbing will make chafing worse.
    • Use ice or a cold pack for short amounts of time to relieve pain. Be sure to pat dry when you’re done.
    • Shop for SwampButt Underwear in sizes up to 3XL.

    Garnier Brand Launches New Signature Tagline

    Garnier proudly announces the launch of a new signature tagline – By Garnier, Naturally – to serve as a stamp of the brand’s commitment to sustainability and a guarantor of its century of experience in ingredient-focused hair care, color, and skincare formulated with naturally-inspired ingredients. With this new signature launch, Garnier pledges to continue to introduce measures to reduce plastic usage by committing to 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) waste for shampoo, conditioner, and leave in conditioner bottles in its #1 selling hair care collection – Fructis Sleek & Shine – by the end of 2019. Presently, Garnier Fructis hair care products are produced in a zero waste facility and the current packaging contains 50% post-consumer recycled waste, and the Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine formula uses sustainably sourced Argan Oil from Southwest Morocco. 

    To herald the brand’s news, Garnier is launching an education-based mobile Greenhouse Tour in select retail locations across the United States this spring. Inclusive of sampling, coupons, live product and recycling demonstrations, and interactive ingredient experiences, guests to the Greenhouse Tour will experience the world of By Garnier, Naturally.  The tour launched on Sunday, March 17 at CVS on 5748 SW 40th Street in South Beach, Miami and will end on Earth Day, Monday, April 22, at 10 Hudson Yards in New York City. In total, the Greenhouse will visit 22 locations at six retailers.

    “Garnier’s mission is to develop beauty products that are both good for you and good for the planet,” says Anncy Rowe, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Garnier. “The announcement of our new signature, 100% PCR initiative for Fructis Sleek & Shine and the Greenhouse Tour serves as a commitment to our customers that we continue to aspire to bring the highest quality, most efficacious naturally-inspired formulas in the most sustainable quality packaging to the masses at a price point that’s attainable.”

    With the insight that nearly half of Americans do not recycle their beauty and personal care products, accounting for 1/3 of all landfill waste, Garnier has been working with TerraCycle since 2011 to educate people on how to recycle responsibly.  Since the partnership inception, the brand has diverted over 11.7 million empties from landfills, providing a comprehensive solution to personal care and beauty packaging waste with its free recycling program for hair care, skin care, and cosmetic product empties. These empties have been upcycled into materials such as raised garden beds, benches, and picnic tables to build 13 parks, gardens and community spaces nationwide.  To kickoff the Greenhouse Tour, Garnier built a garden at the University of Miami on March 17, and will help beautify a garden in New York City in recognition of Earth Day on April 22.  The Greenhouse Tour is another opportunity to encourage reducing personal waste, as guests are invited to bring their beauty empties to the designated TerraCycle bin at the Garnier Greenhouse for recycling.

    HIGHER QUALITY, BETTER TASTING RICE WHILE LEAVING A MINIMAL CARBON FOOTPRINT

    The secret to healthier rice is in the soil,” boasts Johnny Hunter, president of Castor River Farms, whose family has cultivated premium quality sustainably grown grains for the Delta Region of Southeast Missouri since 1954. Castor River Farms was exhibited at the 39th annual Natural Products Expo West & Engredea, the world’s largest natural, organic and healthy products event March 5-9, 2019 at the Anaheim Convention Center. The Hunters manufacture their products without tilling, burning or flooding their precious soil or using fungicides or insecticides.

    The Hunter Family employs sophisticated conservation practices that have helped ensure that their land will prosper for generations to come. Castor River Farms uses the “cover crops method” to protect their soil’s health and fertility. The result is a thicker crop bed, which absorbs more water, with less top-soil run-off.

    The farm’s “no tilling method” lowers top-soil erosion which reduces the quantity of water needed to irrigate their fields. They use less fuel for their agricultural machines yielding less carbon-emissionsfrom the farms. “We are hands-on from seed to shelf to ensure every bag is filled with premium grains,” says Mr. Hunter.

    Whether you are craving the fluffy and rapidly cooked goodness of white rice or the nutty flavor and bran filled deliciousness of brown rice, you’ll value its impact on your diet. 

    “Our farm’s long grain rice provides a rich source of vitamins, minerals and fibers which is very important to our health conscious customers. I love to cook our rice for my family, and you will too,” says Mr. Hunter.

    Naturally gluten-free, Castor River Farms’ rice is a wholesome choice for consumers with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Other benefits include:

    •         Fiber:            Helps the digestive system.

    •         Potassium:    Helps lower blood pressure. 

    •         Folate           Helps new cells develop; which is especially important for growing kids.

    •         Phosphorus: Helps build strong bones.

    •         Magnesium:  Helps keep nerves working properly.

    An active member of its community, the Castor River Farms family is philanthropically focused and participates each year in the “18 Fore Life Golf Tournament” that benefits the local V-Foundation whose own team of doctors is focused on cancer research.

    How to Get Castor River Farms Products:

    Distributors including Paris Brothers, Cohen Foods, Jim Riley and The Brenmar Company are currently on board delivering to prestigious stores including Hy-Vee, Fresh Thymes Farmers Market, Schnucks, Dierbergs Markets, Cosentino’s, Local Harvest, Herban Market, Smokers Market, New Dawn, amongst others.

    The company also offers e-commerce options on its own website or on Amazon.  

    Castor River Farms is a Missouri based, family-operated farm dedicated to freshness, sustainability and quality products. Intended to improve lives through better foods, Castor River Farms sells premium white and brown long-grain rice.
