Smooth Out Your Rough Patches
Just because it's cold out doesn't mean you have to deal with alligator-like skin. This sugar scrub is a great double-duty beauty buy: its moisturizing blend sloughs away dry skin while the lavender essential oil melts away your day's stressors, making this the perfect before-bed ritual. Not to mention, your guy won't be able to resist you slipping into the sheets with super-smooth skin.

Give Your Complexion a Dose of Hydration
Use an ultra-hydrating mask to tackle everything from eczema to acne. Rather than washing the formula off, wear it while you snooze (talk about beauty sleep!) and blot off the excess in the morning with a tissue. You'll wake up with soft, hydrated skin that looks more youthful, too.

Pamper Your Pout
Having kissable lips 24/7 can be hard when the cold winds turn them from soft and supple to chapped within minutes. This dynamic duo includes a lip mask with exfoliating beads that sloughs away dry skin. This kit also includes a lip balm you apply right before bed, and wake up with a super-smooth pucker.

Pamper an Irritated Scalp
Skin sensitivities don't just stop at the facethe scalp can be affected too. If your scalp looks or feels dry, try switching to sulfate-free care products, which won't strip natural oils like sudsier options. Extra bonus: sulfate-free formulas are gentler on color-treated hair, meaning more time between dye-jobs.
