It may still be warm and humid outside now, but don’t let that fool you. The end of August is here, and the crisper, cooler weather of fall is just around the corner.

Even for women with normal skin, cold weather can often mean scaly dryness all over their bodies. And for those of us that are already dry as a bone? It’s even worse. So for a huge portion of the female (and male, but do they care?) population, the search for the right body cream to scare away the scalies starts as soon as summer ends. And it’s about that time, folks.

My recommendation for those with a recurring dryness problem is AHAVA Dermud Intensive Nourishing Body Cream. In the not-so-distant past, this Israeli company’s products were only available in Jewish specialty stores, but word of their high quality has spread quickly and now you can get them in a huge number of retail locations. This particular cream is made with vitamin-infused Dead Sea mud and has been tested by dermatologists for use on people with sensitive skin. Also, since more and more people are looking for it in their body products, this cream is completely paraben-free.

It’s super moisturizing, not at all greasy, and packed with things that are healthy for your skin and nothing that isn’t. You can thank me in Decemeber. Bath & Body Works, $34.
