You are not alone in feeling as though winter has sucked every drop of moisture from your body, leaving you less human and more dehydrated iguana in need of ChapStick. In summer, body creams are a lovely indulgence, a way of maintaining tans and layering perfumes. In winter, less so. A decent body cream will prevent your legs scaling and your elbows falling off. At this time of year, a body cream is a necessity.
