ood things really do take time. Waterlily’s exclusive new ‘Intensive Hand Therapy’ by SPACEUTICALS is an opulent textured hand and nail treatment two years in the making, paying homage to one of the most beautiful parts of us: our hands. This ritual of self-care, nourishing the hands that caress and create, features nutrient-rich multi-functional actives. Absolutely ideal for Mother’s Day, it is the ultimate repair ritual to deeply rejuvenate and restore hands, nails and cuticles. An intensive 10% complex of next-gen vitamins A, C, E, B3 and B5, our Intensive Hand Therapy is laden with molten nut butters and exotic fruits, berries and botanicals. The emulsion is intensified with advanced cosmeceuticals, lashings of collagen inducting resveratrol and skin smoothing hyaluronic acid for a deeply replenishing and revitalising hand treatment. Finished with aromatic essential oils of rose absolute, vanilla bean, ylang ylang and peru balsam, this luxurious skin therapy is a must-have daily ritual that infuses effortlessly for beautiful hands and nails. The result is a divinely hydrated but matte finish for the skin. “When it comes to creating a new skincare treatment or ritual there is so much to consider,” explains Michelle Reeve, Waterlily Founder and Formulator. “Each carefully deliberated ingredient, from the botanical actives, corrective cosmeceuticals, aromatic essential oils and omega rich cold pressed plant oils is a meticulous decision that is gently massaged into conception by research, time and testing.” Let’s take a closer look at the hero actives in this long-awaited formulation.
