Great advert

The skin on my hands occasionally hardens and painfully cracks; it's a variety of contact dermatitis or eczema.  Hence, I keep a tube of moisturiser on my desk, currently Nivea Intensive Moisturising Creme 'for smooth and supple skin' *.

The plastic of the tube seems to have perished: it's become dry and brittle, and it cracked when squeezed. Great advert, eh?

*: shouldn't that be 'for dry skin', anyway? If I had smooth & supple skin I wouldn't need moisturiser.
