During gel polish, BIAB, and other treatments, hands are placed under a UV or LED lamp multiple times. The nails get exactly what they need. Meanwhile, the skin on the hands is repeatedly exposed to UVA light. Handsome Skin was developed precisely for this moment, with certified UPF 50+ protection for the skin covered by the fabric.

PROTECTION IN EVERY STEP
Donning is protecting. No residue. No waiting time. No slippery hands. Only skin under the fabric, maintaining precision and grip. The open-tip design protects the skin on the hands while leaving nails and fingertips free. This allows for preparation, polishing and curing.
EXPERT ON DAILY PROTECTION
“SPF only works optimally after about twenty minutes. Washing your hands means reapplying it. This is hardly manageable in everyday life.”
FROM HOME TO SALON
Especially at home, a manicure can take longer. Polishing, correcting, and re-curing quickly follow one another, meaning hands are under the lamp more often than initially thought.
The open-tip design leaves the nails completely free for gel polish, BIAB, and other light-curing treatments, while protecting the skin under the fabric from the start.
THE FIRST STEP OF THE RITUAL
Put on the gloves before starting the manicure treatment. This way, protection becomes not an extra step, but the beginning of the ritual. The ultimate anti-aging gloves limit repeated UV exposure to the skin under the fabric without sacrificing precision, style, or comfort.
CHOOSE YOUR SUPPORT LEVEL
From a light and supple second-skin feel to a firmer, noticeably protective feel. Both collections offer the same certified UPF 50+ protection. The choice depends on which feel best suits the treatment and personal preference.
STURDY AND PROTECTIVE
For those who opt for more body and a noticeably protective wearing experience during every manicure. Tightly woven and designed to keep grip, touch and precision free during polishing, filing and curing.
LIGHT AND AGILE
For those who prefer a light, supple, and barely-there feel. Refined second-skin protection with open fingertips for precision work during every step of the manicure.
MANICURE & UV
During gel polish and BIAB, the skin of the hands is exposed to UVA light multiple times. Handsome Skin protects the covered skin during each curing, while nails and fingertips remain completely free.

good to know
Practical answers about curing, free nails, wearability and care.
Put on the gloves before the manicure, both at home and in the salon, to protect your hands.
Yes. The gloves are designed for manicures using a UV or LED lamp, such as gel polish, BIAB, and acrylic systems that cure under light.
The skin of the hands remains covered, while the nails are left exposed for curing.
Yes. Thanks to the open fingertips, the nails remain freely accessible, allowing the nail stylist to continue working accurately.
Yes. They are easy to use, especially for at-home manicures.
Put on the gloves before placing your hand under the lamp. Your nails remain exposed while the skin on your hands is protected during the curing of gel polish, BIAB, or other UV/LED systems.
SPF can be valuable, but it is not always practical or reliable during a manicure.
Its effectiveness depends on the correct amount, even distribution, and sufficient reapplication. During a manicure, cream, cleansing, degreasing, or touch can cause the protection to become less evenly distributed.
UPF textile works differently: as long as the fabric covers the skin, it forms a physical barrier against UV radiation.
Regular cotton gloves are not the same as UPF 50+ certified textiles.
Handsome Skin was developed for UV protection of the skin during manicures and daily exposure. The protection is tested as textile performance, not assumed based on material feel or thickness.
Yes. Many nail lamps are called 'LED lamps' because LED refers to the light source. However, for curing gel polish, BIAB, and similar systems, light within the UV spectrum, usually UVA, is still used.
Because UVA often does not cause immediate redness or pain, exposure is not always noticed. But repeated exposure does add up.
Technique, intensity and curing time may differ, but lamps for gel manicures generally use UVA to cure the product. ‘LED’ primarily describes the light source and does not automatically mean there is no UV exposure.
The manicure paradox is simple: nails need light to cure beautifully, but skin needs protection from repeated UV exposure. Handsome Skin is designed for precisely that moment. Nails remain exposed. Skin remains covered.
