English Version | To your hands, with love

Because true beauty lies in the small gestures. 

It's with them that we create. That we make. That we feel. With them that we care. Hands are one of the most powerful instruments of the human being, but that doesn't mean they're not delicate. With our hands we care, but who cares for them? Maybe it's about time we introduce a new step in our daily routine. And it was certainly what Hermès must have thought when creating this new line.

In 2020, the luxury brand took its first steps in the Beauty industry by presenting the lipstick collection Rouge Hermès. This line was followed by the femininity and sweetness of Rose Hermès, a second collection with blushes and lipsticks ranging between the different shades of the rosy color. Today, in a third act, hand care and nail embellishment are under the spotlight. Les Mains Hermès draws inspiration from the heart of the maison where hands are responsible for the talent with which craftsmen and women shape every noble material used by the brand. Because of that, this collection goes beyond the simple purpose of protecting, it seeks to elevate one of the most precious tools of the human body. 

There are six new launches completing the totality of Les Mains Hermès available in Portugal. The repairing and protective complete hand cream, which promises a deep and long-lasting hydration, using 98% of natural ingredients certified by Cosmos Natural. The same goes for the nourishing oil, with 100% of natural ingredientes, and whose function is to hydrate and strengthen both the nails and their outline. Also for the nails, comes a three step embellishment routine. First, the protective base coat that not only unifies the nail but also extends colour duration. A colour brought by the nail polish, available in 24 different shades, also coming with a flexible brush which provides a seamless application. Finally, the top coat enables a high-glow finishing, and increases the duration of the nail polish. Les Mains Hermès further presents a set of 12 nail files made from poplar wood, whose double sided function allows the creation of the perfect nail shape while also perfecting the nail finishing. Despite not available in Portugal, there will also be a nail polish carrying case, made from Tadelakt leather, portraying the savoir-faire of the maison. All of this wrapped up in the perfect combination between luxury and simplicity. To your hands, with love.
