It's equally mild, calms irritated skin, and can be found in drug stores on our home turf.

SPRING AWAKENING Dermatologist Dr. Dennis Gross gave me one more reason to be thankful winter's almost over: "Certain chemicals that dry out skin, like chlorine, are more potent in water during colder months because there's no humidity to help them evaporate," he says.
