Miss-Spa Hand Treatment Gloves Review

One of the most neglected body parts are my hands and feet. I really like the hand and feet masks from Korea and was very surprised to find them in the US. I saw these Miss-Spa gloves at a local discount store and had to grab them and test them out. If these are as good as the Korean ones, then I don't even have to haul them from Korea anymore. 

I grabbed the Moisture-Intense Hand Treatment Gloves. Each packet contains 1 pair of gloves, which means this is a one-time use item. I paid $1.99 for these so I think the price is comparable or even lower than it's Korean counterpart.

The packaging claims the gloves "hydrates and restores hands to a silky soft touch." It also claims to have no paraben, fragrance or pigment. 

Ingredients: Water, Glycerin, Mineral Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, Butylene Glycol, Polysorbate 60, Bataine, Clyceryl Stearate SE, Polyacrylamide, C13-14 Isoparafin, Laureth-7, Cetearyl Alcohol, Clyceryl Stearate, PEG-100, Stearate, Phenoxyethanol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Propanediol, Caprylyl Clycol, Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract, Beeswax, Demethicone, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Arginine, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Mentha Pierita (Peppermint) oil, Lavadula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Rosmarinus Officialis (Rosemary)Leaf Oil, Cupressus Sempervirens Oil, Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Disodium EDTA, Ceramide 3, Sodium Hyaluronate, Beta-Glucan, Natto Gum.

As I looked over the ingredients, I really didn't know what most of these chemicals were until I got to Isoparafin, which is used in a lot of hand and feet treatments. I do want to note that they use various plant oils in, which are listed close to the bottom, and yet I can't seem to smell any of them on my hands.

The gloves are your standard hand mask gloves. There area two layers, the plastic layer that keeps the essence in and the cotton sheet layer that actually touches my hands and keeps the essence on my hands. When I put these gloves on, I immediately noticed that they have a lot of essence in each glove. I would massage my hands to work the essence into my skin. I kept the gloves on for the recommended twenty minutes. When I took off the gloves, there's still plenty of white essence on my skin which I also massaged into my skin. 

Everything was well and I liked the feel of my hands after the treatment, but when I tried to smell my hands, I noticed a unpleasant odor. My hand had a chemically smell, and it made me dislike these gloves very much. I know the gloves from Korea are leave my hands with floral or fruity scent. But these were pretty bad, I sniffed my hands a second time and decided I needed to wash them. I could not keep this scent on my hands in case I transfer it to my clothes. 

I would say these gloves are good as a treatment, but carries a bad scent. Since I had to wash my hands almost right after the treatment, I don't think I got the full benefits from it. I personally won't buy them again due to the smell, hopefully I can find another brand in the US soon.
