Skin care is key year round; but during the colder months, it’s even more important. Harsh winds, freezing temperatures, sleet and snow can lead to cracked, dry and irritated skin.

The solution is simple: Moisturize. The stronger the moisturizer the better. For the folks behind the organic skin care line Whish, moisturizing is two-fold. First, exfoliate and moisturize with sugar scrub, then follow with body butter.

Whish was conceptualized by a husband, out of love for his wife. Founder Jesse Werner first created a shaving cream for her . . . and his work evolved into what is now a complete line of skin care. All of the products are formulated with organic ingredients, and free of harsh sulfates and parabens.

What makes this brand noteworthy is the presentation. Despite its very serious list of ingredients (shea butter, raspberry butter & aloe), Whish is upbeat, fresh and whimsical, and ever so ladylike.
