Well, friends, the transit strike here in NYC is all over, but the weather is still frigid! Several of you asked for an encore of yesterday's post about beauty remedies to banish the effects of the chilly weather, so here are some more:

Soothe cracked hands and chapped lips with Aquaphor Original Ointment. This is a lifesaver that belongs in every medicine cabinet. No nonsense, no fancy ingredients, no fancy scent, and no gimmicky marketing. Just good old moisturizing power that forms a protective barrier on skin and lips.


Squinting against the wind and glaring sun can do a number on the delicate skin around your eyes. Combat it with Ziaja's Aretinol Q Anti-Aging Eye Cream, chock full of Retinol, Coenzyme Q10, and vitamins. Ziaja is the leading skin care brand in Poland, where they don't mess around when it comes to bitterly cold winters.

After a day out in the elements, draw a hot bath and toss in a Dreamtime Luxury Bath Melt from Lush. It's a little block of cocoa butter, almond oil, chamomile, and other good things that will smooth your skin, melt away your stress, and send you off to bed a happy girl.
