Highly moisturising and ultra-gentle, HYSSES Jasmine Hand Cream is a godsend for rough, bone-dry skin, and even relieves mild eczema.
WINNER EDITORS’ CHOICE
Just as severely dehydrated, sensitive complexions require extra-nourishing but gentle care, hands suffering from these problems need products that are similarly tailored to address them.
A hand cream for such fragile skin must provide moisture and lipids. It has to be comforting and lasting but not too heavy, and must soothe, repair and protect. Plus, it has to hit these marks without triggering further irritation.
It’s a tall order, but one that local aromatherapy brand HYSSES kept in mind when formulating its Jasmine Hand Cream. A rich moisturiser for skin that is very dry or has mild eczema, it boasts pure essential oils with hydrating and protective benefits, chief of which is jasmine. Other ingredients like vitamin E, Asian rice bran oil and hyaluronic acid deliver omega fatty acids, antioxidants and moisture to skin.
Despite its luxe texture, the cream sinks in quickly sans greasiness, and its instant cooling effect soothes discomfort, itching and minor redness. To minimise potential irritants, it has no parabens, sodium lauryl sulphate, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or artificial colours.
HYSSES Lavender Hinoki Conditioner ($25.90) cleanses with Japanese cypress oil that reportedly boosts blood circulation and helps your scalp stay healthy to encourage normal hair growth. It won’t clog pores on the scalp, and its calming, floral-earthy scent is soothing and comforting.
