Sweet Skin Care
Sweet Skin Care
"Freezing air. Chapping winds. Whatever winter dishes out, fight dryness with dessert! No mere cream puffs, these finds are effective and indulgent."
Excerpts from a fragrance editorial, Looking Good, in Rachael Ray Every Day magazine's December 2015 issue.
Sweet-Talk Your Skin
The Body Shop
Frosted Plum
The grown-up answer to sugar plums dancing in your head? Sugared plums softening your skin. The Body Shop Body Butter in Frosted Plum is so yummy, you'll want to binge-apply, yet also so rich, a little goes a long way.

Fresh
Cocoa Body Exfoliant
Scaly skin? Just the excuse to slather yourself in chocolate. Or at least in Fresh Cocoa Body Exfoliant, an antioxidant-rich concoction of crushed cocoa and coconut shell that buffs like nobody's business.
$45, fresh.com
L'Occitane
Pamplemousse Rhubarbe
Ask a superstar French pastry chef to dream up body products, which L'Occitane did for the Pierre Herme holiday collection, and you get combos as delish on your skin as in his desserts. Our fave? The Grapefruit Rhubarb Body Lotion.
