Winterproofing
By Ellen Tien

Winter is only two weeks under way, but people are already feeling its drying effects. Whether spooked by the toll taken by last year's long and deep freeze, or parched by an excess of holiday cocktails and central heating, shoppers are soaking up moisturizing creams, lotions and skin treatments designed to battle the elements. Here are some of the best new industrial-strength balms and treatments.

Snowy sidewalks and slippery slopes can make for battered feet. They can be soothed with Tripod Labs' Advanced Moisturizing Formula* ($11.95 for 5.75 ounces; tripodlabs.com), an herbal lotion to soften calluses and mend cracked heels.

*Note: Since publication of this article, Tripod Labs has changed the name of our Advanced Moisturizing Formula to Hydrostat.
