Five of the Best New Moisturizing Products for Face, Legs, Hair and Hands

Wintertime can be especially hard on skin that is exposed to the elements. Keep your face, hands and legs beautiful with these five fabulous new products.

l. Lancome Pure Focus Exfoliant: Oil-free and lightly scented, this deep-pore refining scrub comes in a little green speckled tube. Made by Lancome of Paris, it is one of the best facial cleansers on the market. Sold at most online department stores, like Macys.com, the cost is reasonable and will not bust your budget. This facial cleanser has a light feel with tiny little microbeads which help exfoliate the skin and leaves your face feeling tingly and refreshed. It appears to help remove dead skin and fine lines. It is dermatologist tested for safety and leaves skin shine-free, smooth and with unclogged pores.

2. Pantene ProV Intensive Restoration Treatment. This product helps to protect and repair literally reconstructing damaged hair. The package indicates that it can smooth out hair cuticles to restore silkiness. You will literally see visible split ends disappear while the hair is moisturized and strengthened. You only need to use a tiny little drop to work with even long styles and it is safe for color treated hair.

3. Aveeno Active Naturals Ultra-Calming Shave Gel. Made by Johnson and Johnson, it has no added fragrance and is dermatologist recommended. It visibly helps reduce redness of skin. It comes in a light tan shave-gel can and uses naturally calming Feverfew long-recognized for its gentle properties. Aveeno also makes a Calming facial moisterizer and foaming cleanser. It helps protect against nicks, cuts and razor bumps and unlike soap will NOT leave your legs dry, tight or irritated. I tried the product on some exposed and irritated areas of skin other than the legs and it does help reduce itchiness and winter white spots.

4. Lancome High Resolution Intensive Recovery Anti-Wrinkle Cream. This tiny little jar is very expensive, about $85 at department stores, but is well worth the price. Your skin will feel like a newborn's as it works like a wonder on skin, helping to eliminate fine lines and reducing dry spots. Like collagen, it has a white creamy feel that melts into the skin with a clean, unremarkable scent.

5. Curel Ultra Healing Intensive Moisture Lotion. This is my favorite of all the new products since it heals and protects skin for 24 hours. I use this religiously on my rough winterized hands and even after doing dishes and laundry, my hands are still smooth and soft. You can instantly feel the difference. This product is clinically proven to repair extra dry and irritated skin. It is non greasy, gentle enough for the face, dermotologist tested and absorbs into the skin quickly. Curel even includes a guarantee with this product which contains glycerin, eucalyptus, oat meal extract, and shea butter as well as a host of other favorite ingredients.
