Hello loveliesTodays quick review is on a miracle product my aunt , Latifah introduced me to months ago. If you have cracked dry heels you know its a pain in the-you-know-where. It stays for long once it comes and almost as soon as you stop treatment, its back right there, in your face.
So a treatment modality for cracked dry heels has to be
- cost effective (as this is not a one time affair)
- easily available
- convenient to apply
- less messy
Glysolid is all that and more. It comes in two formulations- a tub of concentrated solid glycerine and a lotion form. I would want to lay more emphasis on the tub .
"This looks just like petroleum jelly/ Vaseline ! "
You're right , they look similar but their properties end there. Petroleum jelly is primarily a water repelling moisturiser whereas glycerin is a water loving moisturiser.It is a humectant and will absorb water from the air towards where it is applied as well.It does not seal the skin devoid of any contact with air and thats precisely why this functions better at sealing cracks.
How do I apply this !
Take a sparing amount of Glysolid and apply all over well washed and scrubbed feet with extra emphasis on the cracks. Wear a light cotton socks over and go to sleep ! Repeat this for upto 4 days and see the holy difference in how soft and supple your hardened skin has become !
Is it only useful for cracked heels ?
No, Glysolid can be used anywhere on the body with dry hardened skin but it is a tad bit sticky so it isnt the ideal cream moisturiser that you can just slather on . Look at it more like a treatment / medication. The lotion form , however is more useful as an all over anti-dryness remedy but I personally feel it performs just like any other body lotion for dry skin. It is the tub of solid glycerin that is packed with love from the heavens for those dry , cracking and hopelessly troublesome heels !
This is extremely child - friendly and can be used in all ages.
Keep a small tub with you in your office desk/ handbag/ car and each and everytime u feel those lips are drying or those hands, elbows and knees are as dry as a bone, pinch up a little product and apply and thank me later ! This is coming from someone who has tried all the world's crack relief creams and subjected myself to torturous scrubbing .
The best part ! -Glysolid is easily available in all hypermarkets across the Middle east for just Aed 9 :)
If you are in the Indian subcontinent , you can buy it here!
And here ! if you are in the Uk !
Until next time !
