Yu-Be So Amazing: Japanese Skin Cream

YU-BE MOISTURIZING SKIN CREAM ($15-$24, Sephora) was invented in 1957 by a Japanese pharmacist and, we are told, is huge in its home country. Despite the suspiciously unsophisticated packaging, we found within it a product that would cost upward of $50 if it came from Lancome or Clinique.

It's pretty magical, Yu-Be. We slathered some of the camphor-smelling stuff on our heels, and cracked, dead skin was transformed into a tough, but no longer hideous, surface. The lip balm ($5) did the same for cracked and peeling kissers.
