Winter is the season of chapped lips and cracked heels, and it's easy to forget about your skin until you start to feel it. But winter can be a boon to your skin if you take care of it. Winter lotions are designed to hydrate your skin and keep it soft and healthy during the cold months. Here are the top lotions for winter.
