Alysa Liu revealed her go-to handcream in a recent interview. Getty Images Figure skating may look effortless when you’re watching from the couch, but behind every graceful glide is a lot of hard work and a lot of very cold ice. Just ask Alysa Liu.
Chilly temperatures, constant gear adjustments and hours on the rink can leave skin seriously dry. But luckily, Liu has a tiny beauty MVP she keeps close by: a tube of Panier des Sens Precious Jasmine Hand Cream.
Fresh off her dazzling gold medal win at the 2026 Winter Olympics — a joyful, breathtaking free skate set to Donna Summer’s “MacArthur Park — she told Today she always has the simple essential in her skating bag.
“I bought [it] myself,” she said. “Usually people are gifted hand creams, but I go out and I buy them.”
The French beauty buy is compact, affordable at only $12 and — if Liu’s glowing hands are any indication — pretty effective.
Think of it as the skincare equivalent of a gold medal: small, mighty and totally clutch when conditions get tough.
The formula is packed with nourishing ingredients designed to protect hands from the elements. According to the brand, it contains 96% naturally derived ingredients, including moisturizing oils that help keep skin soft and smooth.
We wrote all about how we found Liu’s signature skating shade — it’s from Selena Gomez’s makeup line.
The Olympian told The Cut this is her favorite mascara. It’s coincidentally this writer’s, too, as it lengthens like no other.
If you want your makeup to last as long as Liu’s does, grab her $11 go-to setting spray.
While her jumps and spins may look effortless, skating takes a toll — especially on your hands. Getty Images So if your hands are feeling a little chapped (like you’ve been skating laps in an Olympic arena), it might be time to borrow a trick from a gold medalist.
After all, if Liu loves it, we’re already wanting to try it.
