14 DAY TRIAL // The La Mer Hand Treatment has been hailed as a veritable miracle cure for those of us whose hands endure the daily ordeal of dryness - sometimes accompanied by red, itchy skin and that nasty burning sensation that is perhaps the most common signal of skin in distress. The hands are undeniably one of the most exposed areas of the body and they deserve to be treated as what they really are - indispensable instruments for our successful survival. If you're suffering from dry skin and have had enough of regular hand moisturizing creams that promise you the world only to wear off after a couple of hours, here is the answer to all your prayers: a miracle hand treatment that soothes the skin and works from the inside to protect even the driest of hands.
La Mer boasts a "silky formulation" which "intuitively attracts moisture, creating an emollient barrier to prevent dehydration and cushion the skin. An exclusive Skin Lightening Complex improves skin tone and clarity [...]. Magnetized water with marine and vitamin-derived ingredients helps reduce feelings of fatigue" the product's producers also state, vouching that their miracle cream will "relieve dryness, retexturize the skin and restore circulation" while at the same time "encouraging the hands to look younger, feel softer and smoother to the touch".
And the truth is, this particular skincare treatment actually works. From the moment you first start rubbing the cream into your skin, you get an overall feeling of relief coupled with an inexplicable and delicious warmth that will not only soothe your skin, but also help relieve stress and leave you in a contagious feel-good mood. The hand treatment can be applied mornings and evenings alone, without the need to carry it along with you for periodical applications. It's equally effective if used on heels, elbows and cuticles that tend to be dry and rough. On the whole, a wonderful answer to one of the oldest and most frequent skin complaints out there. A Hand Treatment tube of 3.5 ounces is priced at around $70.
