Truthfully, I’ve never been a fan of hand cream because I despise the greasy feeling that so many leave behind. That said, winters in the Northeast make my hands and cuticles dry and chapped. Add to that regular hand-washing and daily dish-washing duties, and the damage only becomes more obvious. And because my hands are often being seen in video reviews, keeping them healthy and hydrated is a must.
Enter this Clean Luxury Hand Treatment from GLOSS MODERNE. The California-based skin-care brand has gained a cult following for its clean and chic products. In fact, its luxurious amenities have earned a coveted spot in a handful of five-star hotels like the Four Seasons and Montage. So, when I discovered that they had a treatment especially made for my digits, I literally couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.
What It Is
This restorative hand cream feels like a lightweight lotion that quickly absorbs into your skin. I was able to apply this and immediately get right back to work at my computer, knowing my fingers wouldn’t leave any greasy evidence on my keyboard. Even though it’s not a heavy formula, it is intensely hydrating.
For on-the-go gals and guys, the purse-size tube is travel-friendly and will absolutely be in my next carry-on for flights. The aluminum packaging has an air of chic sophistication and is one of those statement products you’ll be proud to pull out and share.
And did I mention that it smells amazing? Like all of GLOSS MODERNE’s products, it’s scented with clean perfume oils that are created by an 18th-century French fragrance house. The light citrus Eaux Côtières scent adds to the luxe feeling while not overpowering at all. This might be the holy grail of hand treatments. It leaves my hands feeling soft and smooth, and without any residue. It’s earned a spot on my desk, in my purse and beside every sink in my home.
