My sis has told me (less than two days to go before her birthday!) that she'd really like a hand repair mask as a gift.
Thought these would be a good last-minute purchase (Prime delivery too, phew!). Think these "beauty" gloves are 2 for £1 in Pound Shops, not sure what the quality is like.
Reviews on Amazon look good.
I know that people who have working hands (eg nurses) or skin conditions wear these gloves regularly, with their preferred Hand Repair Cream, overnight.
All I need to decide on is the cream, and will buy one in town tomorrow! Any recommendations from skincare obsessives would be welcome :smiley:
Edit: Didn't realise there was a more in-depth description tucked away in the listing:
"Features: One size. 100% High Quality Cotton. Soft cotton construction. Snug fit ensures dexterity and freedom to perform everyday tasks.
Absorbs cream and helps prevent the staining of bedding and clothing.
Great for protecting products or delicate items such as medical apparatus during handling. Can also be used as lining gloves inside work/gardening gloves and for mime, fancy dress, snooker referees, coin collecting, librarians, as a light handling glove and many other uses. Perfect for users with allergies, sensitive skin or eczema.
You forgot or if you just don't want to leave any prints.......

got a michael jackson fancy dress party coming up. these'll do the job. thanks op.
ona serious note, if you just want to use them as a skin wrap, you can just use cling film (source: i'm an eczema sufferer)

Beware if you have any allergies, as they're not 100% cotton - they also have some kind of stretchy component that's not listed. I personally preferred the two pack from Poundworld, but my branch seems to have stopped selling them.

Can only go by their description, but it's implied they are 100% cotton. Will see what arrives.

I bought some a couple of weeks ago: that review from the person that shrank them in the wash? That was me....

Okay, you could have said that cheeky Either way, if I'm not happy with them I'll complain to Amazon. Like I said, it's a very short notice gift bundle I'm putting together :smile:
Think I'll buy the 2 pack set from Poundworld/land tomorrow, to compare them, as well.

Bit embarrassing to admit to!
I confessed what I'd done to Amazon & they refunded me :smiley:

I know someone who puts EVERYTHING in the tumble drier, even his cotton t-shirts, and he moans they're too small for him after a few washes - you'd think he would work it out by now!

Who else likes looked at the thumbnail image and thought "Michael Jackson"
Not the cheapest but definitely the most effective.

There were a few I saw mentioned on a nurses' forum yesterday (mind you, it was an American website). One mentioned a cream called Lotil which is an old British remedy (never heard of it!).
Another was Aveeno Intense Relief Hand Cream.
I've heard of O'Keefe's, will see if I can find it on my travels today
