The holidays are over, which not only means we need to get back in the swing of classes, but also that winter is in full swing and every inch of our bodies are cracking from the dry air. From chapped lips and peeling cuticles, to rough knees and elbows, it’s all there.

Luckily, we picked the top moisturizers for the worst winter has to throw at you.

You can go the inexpensive route or cop the more expensive brands. Both work equally as well – and will help you keep smooth through summer.
