The Best Scrubs For Dry, Winter Skin Because Summer Is Coming (However Slowly It May Be)
Winter weather is a pain in the ass. Seriously. On top of all the other problems and inconveniences it causes (higher electric/gas bills, having to wear a bunch of layers, and simply the fear of leaving the bed in the morning), it wreaks havoc on skin. The cold and dry air makes skin equally dry and more prone to flaking and cracking. Well, now that it's finally starting to warm up a little, it's time to slough off all that dry winter skin. If you're ready to molt your winter layer and find the smooth and supple skin you've been hiding for the past few months, I've got you covered. Here are the best scrubs you need to add to your showering routine ASAP.
