Gentle Does It: Dr. Linos says skip bar soaps, which may contain harsh surfactants. They leave skin squeaky clean but are also drying. Work up a lather with Dove’s suds — the most nourishing formula is limited-edition and available only during winter. It foams nicely, rinses off clean, and leaves skin soft with a powdery clean scent.
