Sweating tan off hands in gloves??

[*sarah*]

Hi guys,

Just wondered what everyone wears for waxing, I have nitrle gloves but have noticed if I have a client having quite a few areas waxed my hands get all sweaty and the tan seems to be coming off my hands quicker now!
Had thought about wearing cotton gloves underneath any good? lol xx

I don't wear gloves.
I don't know why but i always seem to get wax on them, my hands sweat and then i get the powdered stuff from off the gloves all over my black uniform so i just don't wear them now.

I need to wear gloves as I always end up with it stuck to my L & P's lol plus I dont think I'd feel to comfortable doing intimate waxing without them. I use talc and end up covered in powder anyway lol xx

I don't wear gloves, get in the way too much for me!!!! I always wash my hands in front of client before and after treatment so they can see me doing it.

Sarah, stick to your guns and wear your gloves! I come from a healthcare background and i wouldn't dream of waxing someone without. It's about your own protection not just the ridiculous reasons given above for not wearing them.

What's more important, getting a bit of powder on your uniform or your own wellbeing??

Sarah, i'm sure you'll find some way to overcome the problem without disgarding your gloves.

I'm sorry if i sound harsh, i don't wax personally, but it makes me so cross when there is a chance of contact with blood etc and people are irresponsible about their own safety. (I'm not referring to you Sarah)

I'm not irresponsible!
I put gloves on if there is any blood spotting and i wear gloves for intimate waxing although not for a standard bikini.

I agree, I think you should be wearing gloves, but as a fake tanner myself I understand how annoying it is when your hands are whiter than your arms. I don't think there is any way to prevent the problem, as hands will always fade quicker due to washing them etc. I have got round the problem with St Tropez aerosol spray, which I use to top up my face and hands every couple of days, in between using the mouse all over. It blends in really well, no one will know.

Sorry but I find your comment quite rude! You don't wax personally, so I suggest before you make any remarks about people waxing without gloves, that you go and take a course in it. Then you will see how difficult it is.
People are not all the same. Some may get on with using gloves and some just wont.
There is no problem with waxing without them as long as you are careful.

I don't think she meant to be rude, but if you've worked in health care you are very aware of all the things out there that can be passed on and some of them have nothing to do with blood. Spit or mucus will do for passing some quiet nasty stuff. If flue virus will live on a hard surface for 24 hours from a sneeze, well just think about it guy's. Kay came back from uni with some real horror stories from her time on the wards.
Back to the poster, I use vinal (sp) gloves because they slide better on the hot wax (thanks Kim) and because I like close fitting gloves I always powder my hands before I put the gloves on so they don't stick. This also helps absorb my sweat. I also use tan in a can to top up face and hands every few days and use a soft disposable cloth to blend back to my wrists and neck.
Hope this helps hun:hug:

You can't comment if you don't do it yourself. I get myself in a right mess wearing gloves!! I don't do intimate waxing and if there is any blood I would never touch it with my bare hands - there is no reason you need to touch the area you've waxed, only the area around it. Do people wear gloves for pedicures or manicures?

Thanks Susie, I have been powdering my hands before putting them in and my gloves are tight fitting, but for some odd reason my hands are wringing by the time I'm finished a hollywood! lol
Just wondered if wearing cotton gloves underneath would help or if this would just make it hotter or difficult to work with? xx
