20 Under $20

It’s no surprise to anyone that costs for everyday goods remain higher than we're comfortable with. But that doesn't mean there aren't good bargains to be found. You just have to know where to look. Thankfully, you've come to the right place. For our February edition of '20 Under $20', we've unearthed a wide variety of goods, that can all be purchased with that Andrew Jackson in your wallet. And just because they don't cost much doesn't mean they're cheap.

Making the
Case for …

Not every product we recommend has to be sexy and stylish. But they should help you be more sexy and stylish. And part of that equation is taking care of your body. If winter has been tough on your feet—meaning you’ve got dry, itching skin or cracked heels—then you need this medicated cream, ASAP.

 
 

After I discovered some painful cracks in my heel, I sought out a professional opinion and a dermatologist recommended a cream formulated with urea. This a natural substance found in the skin that plays an important role in maintaining its hydration and barrier function by not only soothing irritation but also naturally breaking down dead skin cells, to improve overall skin texture. This cream is packed with a high concentration (25%) of urea, along with soothing epsom salt and calming essential oils like peppermint, lavender, and eucalyptus. When I tell you this works fast, I mean that you’ll literally notice improvement in just one overnight application. In less than a week, the cracks on my feet were not only healed, but the whole foot was softer and smoother.
