With at least 8 billion lotions and moisturizers on the market (we counted), it can be tough to find the right fit. We rounded up some staffers to share their faves. —RedEye
Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Hand Cream in Eucalyptus Spearmint
$10 for 2.5 oz. at Bath & Body Works
Why I love it: My hands are painfully dry from October to March, and this lotion is the perfect remedy. A little goes a long way—two pea-sized dollops moisturize my hands all day. It’s thick without being greasy and absorbs quickly. Plus, the scent isn’t overwhelming (it’s like soap but slightly minty). —Jessica Thompson
CVS advanced healing ointment
I’m all about name brands. But like, CVS advanced healing ointment saves you $2 over Aquaphor and is just as good. I mean, “Gucci Gucci, Louis Louis, Fendi Fendi, Prada/The basic bitches wear that [bleep], so I don’t even bother,” right? —Jordan Monroe Schultz
Fresh Hesperides Grapefruit Body Lotion
Why I love it: It makes me smell like the Queen of All Citrus, and that is my life’s sole mission. —Megan Crepeau
Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Moisturizing Lotion
Why I love it: It doesn’t have an overwhelming scent and it leaves your skin feeling moisturized without being too greasy. Also, there’s SPF 15 in there, so, bonus! —Kristin Samuelson
Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer
Why I love it: In addition to winter wreaking havoc on my skin’s moisture, it also happens to be a season in which any flush of healthy color fades away and I end up super self-conscious of my pastier-than-Elmer’s legs in every yoga class or other flesh-bearing scenario. This magic concoction helps with both issues without being orange or streaky. —Gwendolyn Purdom
Aquaphor Healing Skin Ointment
$6.29 for 1.75 oz at Walgreens
Why I love it: OK, so this isn’t exactly lotion, but I swear it can solve all of your winter problems. Put this stuff on anything, dry skin or chapped lips, and you will be healed. —Annie Cercone
Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream
There’s a reason Cetaphil is sold by the giant tub. This nectar of the gods completely cured my eczema, and I slather my entire body with it on the daily—even during the summer. It keeps me itch- and flake-free and happy. —Dana Moran
Origins Make A Difference Rejuvenating Hand Treatment
$16 at origins.com and Macy’s and Sephora locations
Take it from a self-professed lotion hater: This stuff is awesome. I received this lovely robin’s-egg blue tube as a stocking stuffer this year, and it was one of my very favorite gifts. The ingredient list is very old-timey apothecary-esque—Rose of Jericho, meadowfoam seel oil, sea haricots … does anyone know what any of this means?—but what really matters is that it smelled amazing and turned my wind-ravaged lizard hands human again. —Lisa Arnett
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula hand cream
The packaging is boring, it smells faintly of plastic/sterile hospital and it looks like petroleum jelly, BUT DAMN do my hands feel like Kanye’s velvet Haider Ackermann sweatsuit. You gator-skin haters with your flowery fragrances are just jealous of my hydrated hands over here. —Heather Schroering
