Pampering might not seem like a winter essential, but when the winds are blowing and you’re spending more time inside than out, it only makes sense to dedicate an afternoon to some rest and revitalization.

If cold weather automatically equals itchy, dry skin and flyaway hair, you’re not alone. There’s nothing quite like a blast of cold air (for five months straight, that is) to make us realize just how much care our skin and hair actually need.
