Here at Beauty Goss HQ we love any product that can save us time by doing two things at once. So imagine our delight when we found a handcream and moisturiser that nourishes and has broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection – awesome!

Hissyfit is the culmination of two very clever women – Olympic gold medallist Louise Dobson and magazine editor Sue Smethurst. They, like us, wanted to combine two essential products to make life on-the-go much easier. They approached Carl Le Souef, CEO of the Private Formula Group (which also do Dr Le Winn’s and Revitanail) and voila… Hissyfit was born.

The best thing about Hissyfit Body Double, $NZ59, is that it smells divine, thanks to a blend of vanilla, almond, orange and grapefruit. You don’t even know you’re wearing a sunscreen yet it offers an SPF of 30+. Pack this in your bag NOW if you are planning any tropical island escapes and keep it on call come the summer months when more skin is on display.

Ever noticed on those who’ve had some work that while their face looks youthful their hands tell a different story? It’s because our hardworking (and forgotten) mitts are always getting a pelting from the sun. Think of all that time driving! Unless you wear gloves (possibly in winter but would you really in summer?), your hands bear the full brunt of sunshine while driving about. And no matter how many pottles of sunscreen you bury about the car we bet that you, like us, often forget to top up the protection on hands. Which is why Hissyfit Handy Work, $NZ39, is just so damn handy. No more dry hands, no more risking future age spots. Job done.

Have you had the pleasure of trying these two products?
