GeLuscious – Gel Moisturizing Gloves

publication date: May 10, 2007

Developed by Silipos, an international company, the gel was originally used in bandages, wraps and pads and their products have wide-ranging applications in podiatry, wound and burn care, plastic surgery and dermatology.  The gel is a tri-block polymer that contains vitamin-enriched mineral oil that gradually permeates the skin to nourish and moisturise your hands. The gel includes olive, canola, jojoba and grapeseed oils, soybean extract, vitamin E and avocado oil (vitamin A) to hydrate the skin. The gel is hypoallergenic and bacteria-resistant. That’s the science over with!

Use:
The terry gloves containing the gel are worn between 20 and 45 minutes two or three times a week – but they could be worn for longer or overnight. When necessary they can be hand-washed with a mild soap then allowed to dry naturally.

Price and availability:
  • Gloves, one size only, cost £19.95 and are sold in appointed salons nationwide or by mail order.
  • For nearest salon or mail order details call Gerrard International on 020 8381 7793.
PWT verdict:
My hands were looking in real need of some tlc. The gloves were comfortable to wear – although I couldn’t see myself wearing them overnight! – but I couldn’t really do very much when I had them on, so it had to be when I was watching the TV.  After two weeks using them for 20 minutes twice a week, the skin on the backs of my hands looked and felt much better. The gloves last for 40 treatments so that works out at 50p a time – or £1 a week – so not at all expensive.
