You're most welcome, Panka. Good luck with locating these gloves in the stores. If these are no longer available, then you could wait for them to be relaunched in the new range. :)

Thanks for your help! I expect the stands to be pretty much emptied here by now but I'll check them anyway for these gloves :)

Hello, Panka! Well, it's inevitable that some of the hand cream/lotion would get onto the gloves but I try to minimise that by doing two things:

1. I don't apply too thick a layer of cream/lotion. I put on just enough for it to be absorbed into the skin. In the case of products with beeswax, however, the skin would be left with a layer of wax, which would then transfer to the gloves. I usually wear these gloves when using hand cream/lotions and not balms with waxes. In any case, it's best to not apply such a thick layer.

2. After applying the hand cream/lotion, I would wait a minute or two before putting on the gloves. I'd like to give the cream/lotion time to sink into the skin first.

As for washing, no, I don't wash the gloves after each wear. I always apply the cream/lotion on freshly washed hands anyway. I usually wash the gloves once a week (and I don't wear them every night).

No worries about your long comment. Thanks for taking the time to pose these useful questions, Panka. I hope I've answered your questions adequately. Do let me know if you have other questions about these gloves. :)

When I saw that Essence was removing these gloves from the range, I decided to get two back-up pairs last month. Haha! Anyway, it's good that they're bringing them back under a different section. You don't necessarily need to get these gloves from Essence. Any simple pair of cotton gloves would do, if you happen to have them at home already. These from Essence were however very convenient for me to purchase and they were reasonably priced, so I thought I'd give them a try. Cheers! :)

Hi! For some time now I was thinking about buying these pair of gloves from essence, but they are leaving the range, so now I have to wait for the new products of spring, because I have seen that the gloves will come back under the studio nails section of essence. However, I'm still sceptical. I always thought that the textile of the product would absorb more cream than my hands. Is this so? I might be mistaken, therefore I would love to hear some information about this, whether you noticed this or not. If not, then I will definitely try them out. And another question: you have to wash it out after every single aplication, or only after let's say 2-3 or more times? Thanks for your help, and sorry for the long comment!

Haha! He rolls his eyes each time he sees me put the gloves on (he thinks I'm nuts). Fortunately, as I was telling Gwenn above, I don't wear them every night. :) For feet, I would recommend socks. Haha! I haven't started on that yet though. :D

Is there also something similar for feet and what does mr witoxicity think of this outfit? LOL

@Girlie Blogger
I had been looking for a pair and it was pretty good timing that I found these. :)

@rock-or-not
I agree and they are all budget-friendly products too. :)

@Nicole
That's the good thing about Essence and Catrice. They have a pretty wide range of products, all priced very reasonably, and that gives us the opportunity to try certain things out without having to fork out a fortune. Oh, after applying the hand cream, I would wait one or two minutes for the cream to sink into the skin first before putting the gloves on. :)

@Gwenn V.
Precisely. The gloves don't cost much, so do give them a try, Gwenn. Btw, wearing gloves to sleep does take some getting used to but I don't wear them religiously every night (I'm not that obsessed, haha!). Sometimes I'm too lazy to put them on or sometimes I forget, but when I do wear them, I can definitely see a difference in my skin in the morning - much softer. :)

but I can't stand sleeping with something on my hands, so I'll use them when watching tv :)

I'm curious, will the hand cream not be absorbed by the glove?

Well for that price it's woth to give it a try right. Take care, Nicole x
