DEW THIS: Living in Florida can leave your skin high and dry. Constant exposure to the sun, a dip in the chlorine-filled pool—they’re just a few of the culprits for your alligator-esque epidermis. Time to slather on something that will keep your skin smooth and supple. We’re big fans of Lindi Skin Soothing Balm. It’s a great fit for anyone with sensitive skin because it’s free of fragrance and other allergens. And it works magic on scaly hands and feet, so you can say see ‘ya later alligator for good. But don’t take our word for it. Just be one of five NBCMiami.com readers to e-mail WantThis@www.nbcmiami.com and you can win a bottle for yourself, courtesy of GBS, The Beauty Store. Be sure to include your name and address. $25, GBS, The Beauty Store; 308 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables; 305.446.6654
