Best Body Washes for the Winter Months

The relationship between the weather and our skin is simple.  When the weather is warm, our skin is happy. But when it gets cold, it suffers the consequences.

Lotion is an easy remedy for dry skin in the winter months, but it also helps to be proactive. Soft and moisturized skin begins in the shower – and Valley has found the body washes that are a must for these winter months.
