Moisturizer: A Lifesaving (Yes, Really!) Stockpile Item That Most Preppers Forget<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n
As preppers, we have all sorts of lists to help us remain organized and better prepared.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We have lists of food supplies, lists of off-grid supplies,lists of non-food supplies, lists of medical supplies, and lists of books. We have first aid lists, water purifications lists, and personal hygiene lists.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s one prep that hardly ever makes it on any lists, and my friend, medical professional\u00a0<\/a>Lizzie Bennett of the website Underground Medic<\/a>\u00a0is going to explain why this humble item is one of the most important things you\u2019ll ever stockpile.<\/p>\n

The Lifesaving Stockpile Item That Most Preppers Forget<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your skin is the largest organ of your body. It holds everything together and forms a barrier between your delicate internal organs, your muscles, bones and tendons and the elements on the outside.<\/p>\n

Your skin is an amazing organ. It\u2019s waterproof but at the same time semi-permeable. It allows waste products to seep out, such as sweat and it can directly absorb vitamins such as vitamins A, E, and C. It protects against infections too numerous to mention \u2013 providing it remains intact, but therein lies the problem.<\/p>\n

The skin is easily damaged.<\/p>\n
