Those of you who live in tropical climates can ignore this post.
Don't you have a beach you should be laying on, anyway? Jerks.
Those of you, like me, whose skin is already crying out for a little extra loving may read on.
Here's my annual review of some good things to feed your skin as we approach these freezing temperatures.
Body:
Hempz moisturizing lotion: moisturizes without feeling greasy, and smells a-freaking-mazing.
Tela Sugar Scrub: 100% organic. Ingredients like: Pure sugar cane, almond oil, soy lecithin, honey, acai and argan oils, milk vetch, oolong tea, kiwi and plum. (Sounds like it doubles as a delicious snack.)
Eyes:
philosophy miracle worker anti-aging eye cream: I have used this as a night cream because it's a bit thicker and super moisturizing. Pretty much, it lives up to its name.
Hair:
Redken All Soft argan-6 oil: can be used on wet or dry hair for smoothing and conditioning.
Nexxus Humectress conditioner: I used this when I had long hair and loved it. It worked so well that I only had to use it once or twice a week.
Nails:
Burt's Bees lemon butter cuticle cream: A perfect product for at-home manicures, a little bit goes a long way.
Lips:
Jane Iredale 'Lip Drink' Lip Balm with SPF 15: I've never tried this before, but I'm very attracted to the fact that it contains no petrolium-derived products. Just vitamins E and C and green tea extract.
Face:
Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cream: contains vitamins and amino acids that heal and nurture skin. I've also tried Kate's Nourishing Moisturizer and loved it.
Speaking of Kate Somerville, I totally want to try this: (via twitter)

The Burt's bees cuticle cream is also AH-MAZ-ING for severely chapped lips. If you hit the slopes a lot it can be your best friend. (Learned that little one while tracking through Nor'easters in New England.
Hannah, I love that idea!
Who'da thunk it.
Someone smart like you, that's who!
