Fancy first aid

Posted Thursday, January 11, 2007 at 12:41PM

ThisNexters Kristy Choo and Fanny The Fairy both adore Jurlique Arnica Cream for its divine moisturizing powers. “I always have dry hands - and can’t stand it,” says Fanny. “This cream is a great moisturiser.” Kristy also slathers on the cream to nourish dry hands, one of the occupational hazards of serving as pastry chef for the oh-so-lovely Jin Patisserie.

But arnica’s benefits go beyond its dryness-relieving effects. Often used internally in homeopathic medicine, arnica helps control bruising and reduce swelling for those who’ve suffered injury. So should you happen to take a nasty spill while out on the ski slopes, hiking trails, or elsewhere in the outdoors this season, rub in some arnica-based cream to help speed up healing.
