DRY SPELLS NO MORE

Dry skin not only loses suppleness and softness, it can also lead to scaly and itchy skin if neglected over time. The Bioderma Atoderm Huile De Douche is an anti-irritation shower oil that provides all-day hydration and comfort right from the shower. Intensely nourishing, it has a pH level of 5 to 5.5, and relieves any skin tightness by forming a protective film on the skin’s surface. This is suited for dry, irritated and even eczema-prone skin, and can also be used for kids from 6 months old onwards. At $39.90 (1 L) from Guardian, Lazada, Robinsons, Unity, Watsons, Welcia-BHG. www.bioderma.sg
