    The one thing giving away your age

    Apart from our faces, the skin on our hands is the most exposed to environmental aggressors. From hand washing to UV rays to daily activities, our hands go through the wringer. The underside (or the palmar surface) is thick and durable, however the upper side (the dorsal surface) is inherently thin and fragile. What makes matters worse is that we continue to lose skin plumping collagen and elastic as we age. We also have few sebaceous glands on the top of our hands.

Our new range of hand masks are dual-layered and touch screen friendly which means the outside of the glove remains completely dry (so you don’t need to stop your swiping) and the inside is saturated with hand-loving serum. Now you don’t need to choose between treating your hands and scrolling your feed.

    Not only do the dual-layered gloves allow you to swipe and double tap to your heart (or hand’s) content, they also trap heat, prevent evaporation and stop the serum from being rubbed off. This helps the skincare ingredients to penetrate deeper into the epidermis giving you an intensive spa type treatment.  Browse our selection of six hand masks here.
