Saving my hands..!

My hands are constantly dry and feel like sandpaper from washing up and cleaning my hands very often (being a mummy is tough) xD. So to give some life back to them and restore some moisture I decided to try out a pack of hand-treatment gloves.



As you can see from the information it has a lot of hydrating ingredients that are found in many hand creams. 



This is what my hands looked like before I put the cloves on.. they have a scaly/flaky, white appearance to them (my camera does not show it clearly) and the gaps between my fingers are also very dry. 


This is what the glove looks like, it's very large so it can accomodate both male and female hand sizes. The texture of the glove feels like tissue paper (not very soft) and I was expecting it to be soaked in serum, but it was surprisingly quite dry..

I put the gloves on and left them for 15mins as suggested..


This is the result of my hands. They were instantly hydrated and soft but the serum left a sticky layer all over my hands. I didn't wash them as it says on the pack that you should rub in the excess. 


This is how my hands looked this morning after i washed my face etc and washed the bottles...
It looks and feels pretty much the same as they did before I used the treatment gloves.. my cuticles are dry and my hands feel rough again :( 

CONCLUSION: 

Would I use this product again? - No. 
I feel it was a waste of my 15minutes.. I could've had the same effect simply by using a hand cream.. I'm probably going to try the actual gloves next time that you can sleep with overnight.

Hope you guys liked this post, if you have ever tried any hand treatments that worked really well, please let me know in the comment section below!
