Israeli skin-care company Ahava launched its sensitive-skin Time to Treat line with this vitamin-rich face cream. A blend of Dead Sea minerals and hyaluronic and amino acids rehydrates the skin; lavender extract, aloe vera and St. John’s Wort calms irritation; and green tea and vitamin E protects your face from environmental factors. It’s said to reduce redness in two weeks, but we felt the calming effects to our windburned faces in just a few applications.

Having an itchy scalp is a common cold-weather complaint, and hair guru Philip Kingsley (he created famous volumizing treatments for Audrey Hepburn) hopes to solve that with these affordable masks.

After you rinse it out, your scalp will immediately feel soft and itch-free. Philip Kingsley Stimulating and Exfoliating scalp masks, $8 each, at philipkingsley.com

Our tester reported baby-soft skin by using it twice daily for just a few days.

Applying this deeply penetrating, lightweight body cream feels indulgent, thanks to its unique consistency (a cross between whipped cream and pudding) and milky-sweet scent. Designed for seriously parched skin, the therapeutic moisturizer contains exfoliating lactic acid and colloidal oatmeal, which acts as a protective barrier—a combo that translates to softness you can feel emanating from beneath the skin’s surface. It’s said the formula continues working 24 hours post application; considering the tub’s generous size, you’re promised months of nonstop smoothness. Bliss 24-“heaven” high-intensity healing body balm, $35, at Bliss Spa, 12 W 57th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves, third floor • 541 Lexington Ave between 49th and 50th Sts • 568 Broadway between W Houston and Prince Sts, second floor • (877-862-5477, blissworld.com)

Rather than cart around a jar of petroleum jelly to slather over scaly lips, stick this portable tube in your handbag or pocket for similar relief. Soothing kokum butter—derived from the pumpkin-shaped fruit that grows on tropical Garcinia trees in Asia—is the star ingredient in this earthy, lightweight clear gel. Coupled with shea butter and natural seed oils, the vitamin E–rich additive quickly softens chapped skin. Burt’s Bees Ultra Moisturizing lip treatment with Kokum Butter, $5, at burtsbees.com
