Showcase 60 | November 2012 www.womanthismonth.com Combat the Cold GULF PHARMACY With the advent of winter, the appearance of dry skin will soon be noticeable. Treat this with products that target the problem areas to help reduce discomfort. Specialist skincare brand Flexitol features a range of products recommended by dermatologists. Each is designed to provide relief to affected skin areas, in particular dry patches. Often we care for our face and body but forget that our lips also require attention. Since our mouth has thin skin and no sweat glands, it tends to dehydrate faster than any other part of us. Flexitol lip balm is an effective moisturiser that locks water in and protects you from dry weather conditions. The balm consists of a blend of ingredients including urea and cocoa butter. By applying to the affected area three to four times a day, you will feel instant relief and will be left with a soft and supple feel. Continue this for a few weeks for long-lasting results. The cooler weather will have a negative effect all over your body. Try the Flexitol hand balm to reduce itchiness and irritation; the nourishing formulation is developed by dermatologists to protect hands from the damaging agents that can cause excessive moisture loss. The formula has been fortified with Vitamin E for replenishment from the first application. Unlike other lotions and creams, it is richly formulated, so a little goes a long way!

Invest in a set that will keep your creations exceptional and keep your fingers safe! Victorinox manufactures a wide choice of knives to suit any culinary situation. The range includes all factors: size, function, style and preference. The most important feature is function, as different knives have different uses. It’s important to use the proper knife for a specific task as this ensures precise and safe cutting. A paring knife is the most common. Generally used for small jobs such as peeling fruits and vegetables, the blade size is three to four inches long. Other knife styles by Victorinox include the chef’s, the slicer, the fillet, the utility, the shaping, the Santoku and the boning knife. On the whole, the knives come with a straight or fine edge. This means each style has a perfect taper along the blade and no serrations, designed to cut without tearing or shredding. Proper post-use care is imperative. You shouldn’t soak your knives in water, instead, hand wash and dry them immediately after use. Do this especially if they have been used on fruit or salty foods, which may cause some staining, even on stainless steel. Though Victorinox knives are dishwasher safe, the brand strongly discourages this as the dishwasher’s agitation may cause damage. Harsh detergents and intense heat can also be harmful and cause pitting and spotting on the blades. Call 17210-959.
