Glove advice

[onthelashmobile]

Hi Geeks,

My skin is getting very dry and sometimes itchy on my fingers. I'm slightly concerned that it's either the start of an allergy to the acrylic or just unhappy hands in general from the acetone etc.

Which type of gloves do you use? I know some can melt when exposed to acetone so I need some good strong ones.

Thanks

We use nitrile. I think they can all dissolve eventually so some use two pairs. I just use them to protect my nails.

Good luck

Thanks Vic. I need to protect my nails also as they've taken a bit of a battering lately. Not as perfect as I would like my customers to be seeing. I've ordered some nitrile gloves so hopefully they will help.

I use latex, it's only my right thumb and index finger affected so I put z plaster underneath as it does sometimes get through. I'm certain it's sensitivity to acetone with mine.
