For extra-dry skinToleriane Sensitive Rich by La Roche Posay, a calming hydrating cream for sensitive and very dry skin, helps those who suffer from dryness, especially in the winter. Suitable for babies and grownups, the special formula contains glycerin that provides up to 48 hours of hydration; shea butter that helps protect the skin; vitamin B3 that calms the skin; and thermal water from La Roche Posay’s own spring to eliminate skin stimulation. Toleriane Sensitive Rich contains no perfume, alcohol or parabens and is hypoallergenic. Use on face and neck morning and evening. NIS 129.Clear and cleanThe dry and cold air, say Clarins specialists, brings new challenges to the facial skin. For the cold season, the company launched two new cleansing gels – Fresh scrub for dry-to-normal skin and Pure scrub for mixed-to-oily skin. Both contain herbal ingredients to gently clear the skin for a more even look. NIS 149, available only at Superpharm stores.Plump Fresh, fun & fruityL’oreal Paris extends its iconic Color Riche lipstick collection, adding a new Color Riche Plump & Shine line of five fruity shades.

Lips appear soft, glossy, and visibly plumped, with a subtle flush of color. Available in five fun, fruity shades. NIS 55.The right measurementsFever measurement is not always as easy to perform as you might think – especially when it comes to children. With the flu season already here, the new Beurer thermometer may be just what you need. The new FT85 non-contact thermometer makes it extremely easy to measure body temperature, ambient and surface temperature. With no need for skin contact, it is also hygienic and safe, and it is very quick – taking only seconds. The thermometer also features temperature alarm from 38°C, and displays measurements in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. A great solution for when you want to measure temperature of a sleeping child or adult, it has an internal memory of up to 60 measurements, switches off automatically and can also be used to measure room and liquid temperatures.

Many bed linen makers sell cotton satin sheets – but most that I have tested were only slightly more comfortable to the touch than regular good-quality cotton sheets. Then I got a set of the new Soham cotton satin sheets – and I must admit that they are in a league of their own.The Israeli textile company sells its products online and they promise me that all of their cotton satin sheets are made from 100% Egyptian Pima cotton, considered the best cotton there is. Pima cotton is a higher-end type of cotton with a longer fiber than conventional cotton. It has a reputation for producing a smooth fabric that’s soft to the touch, wrinkle-resistant, and ultra-durable (from NIS 299 for a single set).Also available by Soham are percale sheets made from cotton and known for their signature tight weave. Sheets woven in this manner are elegant and smooth (from NIS 219 for a single set), and pastel-colored cotton towels made from Egyptian cotton (from NIS 49).All of Soham’s products are made in Israel, and the sizes fit our mattresses size better, offering sheets for thicker mattresses as well as 140 cm. width. The company promises a full return policy with no charges.
