EVERY DETAIL, CLEARLY EXPLAINED

The gloves provide hand protection. Nails and fingertips remain free for touch, grip and precision. Put the gloves on after preparing the nails and wear them during every curing cycle under a UV or LED lamp.

Put them on after nail prep and before the first layer is cured under the UV or LED lamp. Wear them during each curing cycle.

Yes, for systems that cure with a UV or LED lamp. Nails and fingertips remain free, while the skin covered by the fabric is protected.

Many nail lamps are referred to as LED lamps because LED describes the light source. However, the curing process typically still uses light within the UV spectrum, usually UVA.

SPF can be valuable, but depends on the amount, even distribution, application time, and reapplication. UPF textiles form a physical barrier as long as the certified fabric completely covers the skin.

Regular cotton is not the same as certified UPF 50+ textile. Handsome Skin's protection has been independently tested as a textile performance.

Yes. The open-tip design leaves nails and fingertips free for prep, polish, curing, and precision work.

Handsome Skin combines certified UPF 50+ protection with an open-tip design. Covered skin is physically protected, while fingertips and nails remain free for touch, grip, and precision.

UPF indicates how much UVA and UVB radiation is blocked by textiles. UPF 50+ is the highest official class, meaning that at least 98% of UV radiation is blocked by the fabric it covers.

The fabric has been tested by SGS and, according to the test results, blocks more than 99% of UVA and UVB radiation. The fabric also complies with OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, Product Class I at fabric level.

Product Class I is the strictest product class within OEKO-TEX® and is intended for textiles with high demands on skin contact. The certification applies to the tested fabric.

No. The protection comes from the construction of the tightly woven fabric and is not a chemical finish applied to the skin.

Only skin fully covered by the certified fabric benefits from the UPF 50+ protection. Nails and fingertips are intentionally left exposed.

No. Handsome Skin UV Gloves are not a medical device and do not replace personal advice from a doctor or dermatologist.

MY SHIELD feels sturdier and more shape-retaining. MY MINERAL feels lighter, softer, and more like a second skin. Both collections offer the same certified UPF 50+ protection standard for covered skin.

MY SHIELD consists of QUARTZ, SILVER, and BASALT.

MY MINERAL consists of KUNZITE and ONYX.

All models are available in one universal size. The fabrics contain stretch and are designed for a close fit. The exact feel varies per hand shape and collection.

MY SHIELD is suitable for those who prefer a firmer, dimensionally stable feel. MY MINERAL is suitable for those who prefer a light, flexible, and barely noticeable feel.

The fabric meets OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, Product Class I at fabric level. In case of a known allergy, skin condition, or active irritation, personal advice from a suitable healthcare professional is recommended.

A product consists of one pair of Handsome Skin UV gloves. If a storage pouch is included with a specific version, this will be stated on the product page.

UVA penetrates deeper into the skin and plays a significant role in visible skin aging. UVB is more strongly associated with sunburn. Both forms can damage the skin.

Yes. UVA, in particular, does not always immediately cause redness or pain. As a result, recurring exposure can go unnoticed.

Car windows block a lot of UVB, but can let some UVA through. The exact amount varies per type of glass and any coating.

Yes. UV radiation can also be present when it's cloudy. Heat and bright sunlight are not reliable indicators of the amount of UVA.

The backs of the hands are often exposed, used intensively, and receive less consistent protection in many routines than the face.

When driving, cycling, walking, during sports, outdoor work, manicures, and other recurring moments when hands are exposed to UV light.

No. The gloves only protect the skin that is completely covered by the certified fabric. Other exposed skin requires appropriate additional protection.

Hand wash recommended. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Preferably, air dry the gloves flat.

Always follow the care instructions. Damage, excessive wear, deformation, or improper washing treatment can affect the structure of the textile. Replace the pair when the fabric is no longer intact.
