Biker Beauty - Tough Skin Care Products for the Rough Skin of Bikers

Bikers take incredibly good care of their bikes. In fact it can border on obsessive. When a biker friend lost most of the skin on his shoulder and back to the asphalt, his first words were, "how's the bike?". This level of concern for their bikes, however, doesn't always translate to their own health. Bikers are at high risk for skin cancer, and dry, cracked skin has always been one of the hazards of the road. So how do you get the biker in your life to take care of his or her skin? Skip the lightweight stuff and bring in the heavy duty task masters below.

Larson's Heavy Duty Skin Care
The founder of Larson's, Chris Larson, endured the heat of California deserts and the bitter cold of Alaska, so he knows first-hand how skin can take a beating out in the elements. Larson's Heavy Duty Skin Care treats the driest, most cracked, abused biker's skin and heals it quickly. Larson's product range treats eczema, psoriasis, and sun burn, making it a top choice skin care for the road. Larson's site also has value packs making the price very attractive.

O'Keefe's Working Hands Skin Creams for Hands and Feet
These two are my personal favorite! I couldn't get through winter without these! Nothing repairs bikers' cracked, peeling skin faster than these two plain-jane creams - one for feet and one for hands. O'Keefe's Working Hands and Working Feet soak in just about the fastest of the heavy duty dry skin products, absorbing in seconds, despite how thick it feels in jar.

Tattoo Goo Special Care for your Tattoos
(Available at Amazon.com)

Bikers need to look after their body art! All natural Tattoo Goo Salve, developed by a pharmacist, heals and soothes the skin but doesn't pull the ink. Tattoo Goo Lotion is excellent for everyday use to keep the tattoo area smooth and soft which keeps the color enhanced. The salve and the lotion are both ideal for sun burns, wind burns, scraped, nicked or super-dry skin.

Ride Skin Care
(on Amazon.com)
Ride Skin Care has just what the biker ordered, skin care that travels well and does the job fast. Ride Skin Care isn't quite as heavy duty as Larson's but does a great job as preventative skin care for bikers on the road.

Ride Skin Care's Sun Time Tool Kit includes these essential products in a custom made RIDE tool bag (how cool is that?)

- Riders Block 3.5 fl. oz a water-resistant, oil-free sunscreen with SPF30 (5 different active sunscreens in one formula) vitamins, aloe and green tea.

- Rider's Balm - Lip Protection, SPF 18 with coconut oil, olive oil and calendula.

- a set of 4 Road Rags - Individually wrapped, heavy-duty, cleansing cloths. Each cloth has aloe and is premoistened.

This summer make sure you take care of the bikers in your life and get them gear for the road that will protect their skin and well as bikers take care of their bikes.
