Road Test 

As you get older it is normal for the skin of your hands to be one of the first body parts to show the signs of ageing, from age spots and wrinkles to dryness and dehydration. And when we travel, many of us add to this visible by toll by neglecting  our hands further still, exposing them to salt water from the ocean, chlorinated pool water, and more exposure to the sun than normal. Add our “new normal” to the pot, where we’re sanitising frequently, and your hands can not only start to feel less than their best but look that way too. In response to this daily dilemma, the Australian made and owned skincare brand, Dermal Therapy, has launched Sanitising Hand Cream, a clever product developed which eliminates the need to carry and use both a hand sanitiser and a hand cream on the go, while also the easing symptoms of over-use of conventional gel sanitisers such as skin dryness, roughness and irritation. The lovely, non-greasy formula of this hand cream contains unique antibacterial properties such as Organic Sugar Ethanol, Silverion, Glyceryl Caprylate and Benzethonium Chloride, which help to kill 99.9 per cent of germs in 30 seconds. But in a master stroke it also contains five per cent Urea for intense hydration, leaving your hands soft and supple without any sticky residue. This product is so easy to use; simply squeeze a small amount onto your hands and fingers, and rub hands together thoroughly.

• The hand cream is deeply hydrating. 
• It kills 99.9 per cent of germs in 30 seconds on application.
• It doesn’t leave any sticky residue.
• The tube is handbag sized and travel friendly.

Insider Tips

• To help prevent the skin of your hands becoming overly dry, and to enhance use of products such as hand cream, exfoliate your hands once or twice a week using a gentle scrub.
