Hello there!
I've been raving about dry hands for ages, and I'm not even exaggerating - my skin's not completely dry, but it's like I'm constantly slathering on hand creams at work, at home, and in every pocket. It's like eating on the go or working out in the army - just doesn't feel right, you know? Food should be nice and proper, exercise should be enjoyable, and taking care of your hands should be a pleasure, at least sometimes. That's where these hand masks come in. I've got a pair from SHE`S LAB to tell you about.
Treat your hands to a super moisturizing experience! The allantoin, ginger, licorice root, and aloe vera extracts work together to make your skin incredibly soft and silky. The shea and avocado oils create a protective barrier that keeps your skin hydrated and toned, and instantly calms any irritation.

Opening the package isn't hard, but it's a bit tricky - you need to pull it in one direction first, then the other. Moisturizing hand mask by SHE`S LAB - hand mask moisture & softening Description of the glovesThe gloves are folded up a few times into a little square. The package is foil-lined on the inside, but there's no sign of moisture getting in. It's basically just trapped inside the gloves.

They're the right size and shape, and I think they'd fit even on larger hands. For example, I consider my hands to be pretty big, and the gloves were even a bit loose on me.Surprisingly, the top of the gloves is dry to the touch, with a matte finish that doesn't reflect light or have any patterns.

This sticker helps keep the glove in place, which is necessary because the mask is slippery and would otherwise slide off.

I've got to say, the scent is seriously amazing. It's like a mix of floral and cosmetic notes, but I'm not sure what the exact fragrance is. It's really reminiscent of Elizabeth K's toner.
The scent lasts on my hands for at least another couple of hours.
Instructions for use
It's on the label, but I found a text version online.
Take the hand mask out of the packaging, split it along the dotted line. Put it on and secure it with the adhesive strip.
Hand mask for SHE`S LAB Moisture & SofteningI split it into two, applied the first one to one hand, and then used my other hand in the glove to put the second one on. Let me tell you, getting the adhesive strip to stick was a bit of a challenge – it's a lot harder to remove the strip with the glove on. I had to ask for some help from my family members to get it to stick properly.The adhesive is super strong, so you won't be able to remove it completely from your hand. However, the inside of the glove is a bit slippery, and my fingers kept sliding around.
