My Reading Room

One of the first places to show age is our hands, and ironically, they’re the most neglected. We often don’t give a second thought to investing in skincare for our face, but when it comes to the hands and feet, it’s a different matter.

As we get older, skin gets drier and rougher as lines form; being exposed to the elements doesn’t help either. That’s why Glysomed has launched its Hand Cream Soft to provide dry and sensitive skin with long-lasting moisturising benefits. The lightweight, nongreasy formula contains glycerine, to help restore the skin’s moisture balance, and allantoin to protect and promote cell regeneration especially for exposed areas like our hands, weakened by environmental aggressors. The fast-absorbing cream also has aloe vera and soothing chamomile.

At $9.80 (75 ml), from Robinsons stores and selected Guardian outlets.

Glysomed’s Foot & Leg Balm works on stubborn, dry, hard areas with ingredients such as olive oil, shea butter and beeswax. Plus peppermint oil serves as an antiseptic as well as invigorates tired feet. At $22.80 (100 ml).
