Gloves to protect hands from sun

Hi

Does anyone wear gloves in the summer to protect hands from the sun ?

I put sunscreen on, but of course with handwashing it’s not easy to keep reapplying .

Was thinking of wearing gloves .

Good idea ?

Your hands will BETRAY YOUR AGE.

You could get those gloves that people sometimes wear when getting a gel manicure.

EveryDayFruity · 30/07/2024 14:13

what kind of gloves are those then?

FrenchandSaunders · 30/07/2024 14:19

Why?

MoiraRoseForever · 30/07/2024 14:19

Oh my goodness! (Does not buy that glove)

I have never ever had burnt hands. Is that a thing?

I have pale skin and I don’t want to get sun on them. I also have moles on them.
I put sunscreen on bit of course hands get washed .

If skin is protected generally with sunscreen , why not hands .

I've ordered those gloves for driving but not sure I could style them out for day to day. There are 50 spf handcreams now though - and hello Sunday do nice handbag size 30spf hand cream.

This is a very good point.

I think it’s too late for me, but honestly my hands look 10 years older than my face. I have brown patches, wrinkles and moles on them. So yes, definitely protect your hands - sun damage is a thing. Not sure I could style out the gloves though.

I bought these for driving-everyone thinks I'm nuts but I don't care! My hands are significantly darker than my face (I apply facial spf50 religiously)

I get sun allergy on my hands so always apply spf. If I’m in the car or outside for a long period of time I use the solbari gloves and sleeves posted above.

Hi. I put sunscreen on, but with handwashing it’s hard to keep up .

the Solbari ones look very bulky . Are they hot to wear ?

I was thinking of something thinner for summer.

It’s not about how they look, I just don’t want to risk sun damage causing skin cancer.

They are nice and thin-been fine in this hot weather.

Could you use the Reinman P20 sunscreen? It's supposed to be super water resistant if applied correctly so could reapply twice a day?

It sure that would cover handwashing with soap ?

I've got Solbari sleeves, and they are definitely cooler than simply wearing a long-sleeved top of similar thickness, so I would wear gloves made of the same fabric.

Maybe check out Korean or China websites as young girls are obsessed with gloves/parasols to keep sun off. I’m sure I’ve seen very lightweight, pretty delicate looking ones in white.
