Editor’s Note: We recently had a post about dry winter skin. Melanie offers a possible solution.

Cold weather tends to bring about many beauty concerns such as super dry skin.  My hands in particular become extremely dry in the winter months and deserve intense attention.  There are so many lotions and dry skin products on the market that it can be rather overwhelming to choose one.

I will say that for extremely dry skin, the best product by far that I have found is L’Occitane’s Beurre de Karite, which translates to Shea Butter. 

This 100% shea butter product is thick and velvety in texture and has a lovely subtle shea nut scent.  It can be used on your face, hands, body, and even hair as a conditioning treatment.  Rather practical indeed.

So how you have ever tried a shea butter product?  What do you use for extremely dry skin care?
