Unlike ordinary hand and foot treatments, the nourishing serum is contained within a dual layered glove or bootie. The inner mask contains a nourishing serum packed with pure Plant Extracts, while the outer layer remains completely dry.

The dual layered hand and foot maks provide a continuous and concentrated dose of ingredients making them more effective than creams which begin to evaporate after being applied. Not only are dual layered masks more effective but they are easier to use. A dry outer layer means you can continue with daily activities while wearing the masks.

Serums are best applied after a toner or essence and before your moisturiser.
