Hear that? It’s the tune of 2006. Before we dive in, a shout-out to our favorites from 2005. Feel free to hum along.

Severe winter weather has transformed your once-dewy complexion into a chapped nightmare. Dry, flaky, textured like sandpaper. How to break it to you gently? Your face looks like ass.

Don’t fight it. Just treat it like one.

Nothing soothes water-starved faces like A+D diaper rash cream. (Yes, really. Sometimes salvation comes in the most unlikely forms.) Cortisone may fight flakiness. All those prettily packaged hopes-in-a-jar may smell great. But there’s a tiny miracle in A+D’s magical blend of zinc oxide and aloe. And it costs a mere six bucks.

One smear and your skin will be as soft and flawless as — sorry, but we couldn’t resist — a baby’s bottom.
