Goodbye Dry: Ultra-Moisturizing Products for Hands and Nails

For many of us, winter is the busiest time of year—and whether that involves dashing through the snow or toiling away indoors with the heat cranked on high, it all adds up to one damaging result: dry, flaky, moisture-starved skin. Fortunately, there are plenty of products available to pamper and protect—warm paraffin treatments that smooth calluses and cracked heels, collagen gloves that rehydrate nails and cuticles, and thick body butters that leave skin baby-soft and silky. Packed with nourishing ingredients, such as essential oils and vitamins A, C and E, these product picks will not only rehydrate dry skin, but also help prevent further flaking. Try one or try them all, and give dry winter skin the cold shoulder.
