Abstract

L'invention concerne un gant de traitement de la peau (10) comprenant des première et seconde couches identiques en forme de main (12a) et (12b), qui sont liées l'une à l'autre au niveau de leurs périphéries communes (14), hormis une partie manchon (16) qui délimite l'ouverture de gant (18). Les couches (12) sont chacune constituées d'un film plastique poreux à mailles fines qui, selon le mode de réalisation, est constitué d'un matériau en feuille de polyéthylène (PE). Le matériau en feuille possède des micro-ouvertures espacées dans un motif de trou symétrique qui offre des taux de perméabilité précis. Lors de l'utilisation, un utilisateur souffrant d'une peau sèche ou d'un eczéma ou qui souhaite améliorer l'aspect de sa peau met l'hydratant et/ou les crèmes topiques souhaités sur ses mains, puis porte le gant de traitement de la peau (10) sur les mains hydratées. Le gant de traitement de la peau (10) est perméable à l'air, ce qui permet à la peau des mains de respirer ; et, en même temps, le gant de traitement de la peau (10) maintient le niveau d'hydratant appliqué sur la peau des mains pendant une période plus longue par rapport à l'état de la technique. Selon une éventuelle modification, le gant de traitement de la peau (10c) comprend une couche de tissu perméable à l'air externe supplémentaire (30). La couche de tissu perméable à l'air (30) est également en forme de gant et constituée d'un matériau approprié tel que le coton, le bambou, etc.
