Dry, cracked lips and flaky skin are common this time of year – and call for that extra bit of TLC.There are lots of all-purpose balms that are ideal for dry skin on heels and elbows, as well as nourishing the cuticles, and even slicking eyebrows into place. For sheer handiness, I can’t go past this small tin of Dr Bronner’s Magic Orange Lavender Organic Body Balm $11.50. Perfect for the ski slopes or the desk drawer, it’s based on natural oils and beeswax – and a little of it goes a long way.
