I hate to be another writer that complains about the weather this time of year…but I mean come on – it’s awful. Despite my obvious-to-everyone-who-knows-me attitude towards winter, I know there are people out there that enjoy cold weather. However, attitude won’t fix the inevitable problems that come along with that crisp winter air – our skin hates it. The cold air, low humidity, and even central heating units are all extremely harsh on our skin, causing it to become dry and itchy. Some more than others I know, but I wanted to make a list of products that will help us all.
These products range from moisturizers that have great reviews, to cool heel socks I came across last year. Unless you’re lucky enough to live in a year-round tropical climate (and even then, your ‘winter’ may still have an effect on your skin), this article is bound to have something useful for you.

This is one of my favorite tools in the winter. Your skin feels so great afterward! This high-powered steamer is built to open your pores and deeply moisturize the skin, removing dead skin, dirt, and debris along the way. Your face will literally soak up the moisture it’s been missing all winter.
Exfoliate Daily With This Foot Scrubber Mat
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t necessarily scrub between my toes every day – it’s okay, you can admit it too. This Foot Scrubber Mat is perfect for getting to those hard-to-reach places and buffing all of your dead skin away. Daily exfoliation is the best way to keep your feet baby-soft!

A Lip Repair For Even The Driest of Lips
Chapped lips are arguably the worst part about winter. There’s very little out there to cover and protect your lips other than Chapstick, so you better make it the best one! This Lip Repair Lip Balm is for the worst of the worst, staying on your lips all day to not only hold in moisture but also repair any damage that’s already there.
Protect and Moisturize With This Unique Body Scrub
