Winter tends to wear on our skin but local soap and emollient makers have created some solutions. Lindsay Snow, “master soaper” at Craft Brewed Suds in Madison, recommends a combination of handmade soap and lotion bars to keep your skin hydrated. Others, like Qēt Botanicals, offer pure body oils and butters to stave off dryness. LüSa Organics offers a divine facial cleansing oil to keep the moisture in.
