Abstract
A hot wax system for conditioning one's hands that includes a wax that is meltable at a temperature below that which would be harmful to one's skin. The molten wax is placed into an elastic glove that is stretchable to at least 150% of its original length and rebounds to at least 20% of its original length. Thereafter, one's hand is placed into the glove and the glove is manipulated to disperse the wax over all the hand surfaces. The hand is kept in the glove until the desired result is achieved--normally about five to thirty minutes. The process may be repeated with the user's other hand and wax dispersement can be accomplished simultaneously in both gloves by repetitively pressing the gloved hands together. The wax may be conveniently enclosed in a heat resistant container or within the glove itself to facilitate storage, heating and to insure that the correct amount of wax is being utilized.
