If your skin is dry, flaky, ashy, or itchy, you're one of millions. Winter weather is rough on skin, even if this season has been milder than usual. There are a few easy ways to keep dry skin at bay: run a humidifier, take short lukewarm showers instead of baths, pat your body dry afterward, and apply body moisturizer while skin is still damp. Here are three saviors for seriously parched Read more

Kiehl's always has great charity initiatives, and their latest endeavor lets you put a little modern art in your medicine cabinet while helping kids in distress. The company is collaborating with artist Jeff Koons to release an arty limited edition Creme de Corps moisturizer collection, from which 100 percent of sale profits up to $200,000 will go to the Koons Family Institute, an arm of the Read more

Sue Sylvester may have all sorts of hilarious one-liners about Mr. Schuester's hair on Glee, but here's one tip that's so useful, it will surely stop the wisecracking Cheerios coach in her track suit. The handsome actor's hair has become quite the phenomenon, but Matthew Morrison, who plays the lovable Mr. Schue on the series, actually uses Lubriderm Body Lotion ($8) to tame his curly strands. He Read more

I really, really can't stand synthetic scents. That's why Alba's Kona Coffee Hawaiian After-Sun Lotion ($8) was a delight to use. I picked it up after accidentally getting a sunburn on my ankles (Bella can miss a spot, too), but quickly realized that it was much more versatile than its name would suggest. It smells like a fresh cup of vanilla hazelnut roast — nice early in the morning when Read more

One more reason to like H&M: in just a couple of weeks, the Swedish fast-fashion chain is introducing a line of body care made with organic ingredients. Ecocert, the European certification organization, has given its green stamp of approval to the range of shower gels, body scrubs, lotions, hand creams, and lip balm. As you'd expect from H&M, it's also affordable. Body care products each Read more

One of the frustrating things about some eco-friendly products is the often-high price. Yes, we'd all love to go green, but it's difficult to pay $20 for body lotion when Curel can be had for a small fraction of that cost. Enter Seed, a new line of natural body care that's free of parabens, preservatives, phthalates, artificial colors, and animal ingredients. (Whew.) The three-item lineup Read more

The other day, after testing out a sample of Enessa Shea Body Soufflé ($35.50), I was reminded how emollient, yet not greasy, this type of "lotion" can be. The fact that these styles of creams still manage to be heavy-duty without taking it too far into the grease-pit range makes sense. The word soufflé is past tense of the French verb souffler, which translates to "to blow up." Because these Read more

The much-buzzed-about Kai products, like most other scents, are definitely a love-it-or-hate-it kind of deal. While I remain a bit on the fence with the popular scent, others love it, like reader GLB67. Here's what she had to say about the Kai Body Lotion ($33): I bought this about a year ago and was a bit put off by the gardenia scent. [But then,] I ran out of lotion and thought I should just Read more
