Don’t “Just Deal with It”
While winter is certainly a beautiful time of year, with glittering snow blanketing State College, it can also be the time of not-so-nice things, like cabin fever and dry skin.

Thankfully, in the day and age that we live in, there are hundreds of products available to help you feel your best! Additionally, there are an abundance of home remedies to aid in rescuing your dry skin and to help you feel cleansed, moisturized and refreshed.
