Clarisonic Pedi Sonic Foot Transformation, $230, available at Sephora and clarisonic.com
The winter season exacerbates rough, dry patches on the feet, but this pedicure system will help slough off that dead skin. The newest addition to the popular Clarisonic line moves the emphasis from faces to feet, with a kit that includes a wet/dry brush for scrubbing and buffing and a trio of products that include lactic and glycolic acids (to dissolve those trouble spots) and shea butter and apricot oil (to leave feet soft and smooth). A thoughtful gift idea for those taking off to warmer locals during the winter getaway season.
