You know you are not the only one whose body needs to get winterized, your man gets dry and crackly too. So the question is, how to get him to take care of that wintry mix without making him feel like too much of a metrosexual? The answer: turn it into a team activity. Hot oil baths and deep conditioning head massages can turn your winter man into something smooth and sexy in no time, and transform a cold winter night into a night to remember. How? Just follow these easy steps.

Look it Up!

Do a quickie search of perfect techniques for the night. A personal fave is the Vanilla Body Scrub by Sabon. It's made of sea salt and macadamia, soybean and almond oils (yummy!) and makes for the mother of all foot scrubs.

Pick the Menu

This little excursion should be like your own personal spa retreat, so create a menu as if you were basking within the depths of your favorite sanctuary. Figure out what your man needs and design something based around his parts that are screaming for attention. If dry skin ails him, plan a moisturizing mask (by the way, love, love, love Kiehl's Algae Masque, which is especially for dry skin). Take no prisoners when planning to restore him back to the hotsy-totsy guy you know and love, instead of that winter imposter sleeping in your bed.

Set the Atmosphere

Expand beyond the bathroom and imagine every room as a different treatment space. Have the bedroom double as a massage room and the bathroom as the soaking room. Light candles everywhere, play the sound of waterfalls, have your bathrobes and slippers hanging in the changing room (which is really just your hallway), offer the man tea or water upon his arrival. Basically, make it as authentic as possible. It's more fun that way and chances are he'll also do whatever you want.

Get to Work

Everything planned? Then get going. Call it pampering, call it love, call it necessary, just as long in the end you can call him beautiful, it's all worth it.
