Today's post is different as I am going to review a product that is very unique and first of its kind. Some weeks back I was presented with the opportunity to try out a new sort of mani and padi (no, it is not a fish padi). Here is my take on the product. Read further to find out what I am fussing about...

Firstly, a little introduction about the brand. Skin+i is a UK based brand but the products are being manufactured in South Korea. Here is Skin+i's philosophy:

"Skin+i believes that its not always the things we own that make us happy. But appreciating the little things in life and feeling good about ourselves, in both mind and body, makes all the difference. With this in mind Skin+i created the Mini Spa Pro Rituals - a professional salon service that brings the world of hair and beauty together. Inspired by traditional beauty treatments the pro ritual service enhances the salon experience by providing a new level of care that combines innovation, comfort and performance." 

I gave the hand Spa Ritual a go and my observations regarding the product are as follows: 

The hand spa ritual comes in a sealed plastic pack of 15 ml. The packaging is pretty basic and plain explaining the application steps and ingredients of the manicure. 

True wonder is what lies inside the pack. Now usually we expect massage cream or exfoliating cream in such packs for manicures however, this pack contains something entirely different and unimaginable. It contains gloves, yes, gloves, neatly folded inside the pack.

 The pack contains two matte plastic gloves, one for each hand. The gloves have two layers, the outer plastic one and an inner fabric like layer infused with manicure ingredients. The inner layer is wet due to all the manicure ingredients but still it does not leak or drip at all. You will find the plastic wrap completely dry with no leakages at all. 

 The application steps are as follows:

Step 1: Wash and pat dry hands.

Step 2: Open pouch and remove gloves - slip gloves over the hands. Ensure hands are covered by inner most layer. 

Step 3: Massage hands for 30 seconds. 

Step 4: Remove gloves after 15 minutes.

Step 5: Massage in any excess treatment until fully absorbed.

My Experience: 

This is the first time I have used this product and I am very surprised with the results it gave out. The best feature of this product is its usability and portability. Its the best and most convenient product for working ladies and busy moms. It allows doing regular chores while wearing the gloves, it does not drip so you can use your cell phone, type on a keyboard as the gloves are non intrusive. It hydrates and nourishes the skin, hands feels smooth and soft to the touch. It delivers results in minimum time with no mess and no fuss. There is no need to use separate creams and products. Its an all in one thing but if you have time you can use an exfoliant after the treatment for an even better result. The gloves are for one time use only and disposable. You can carry the pack with you at all times and use it whenever, wherever. 

Another feature of this product is, the gloves come in a standard size so this manicure may not be just restricted for females, even men can also opt for this easy DIY manicure (even the laziest ones). All one needs to do is wear the gloves for 15 minutes. So now you and your partner can easy get your manicures done in the comforts of your home or anywhere. No need to run to salon/spa every time especially the busy moms. 

The below picture shows before and after application results of the mini hand spa ritual. The difference is obvious from the picture, the after picture shows a radiant and well hydrated hand compared to the before one. I have just used this mask and washed my hands afterwards, no other treatments or products have been applied.
