| 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.

I claim:
1. A process for treating a user's hand with a wax composition and an elastic glove, said wax composition having a melting point temperature less than a temperature that would be harmful to said hand, said elastic glove having an elasticity that allows it to stretch to at least 150% of its original length and return to at least 20% of its original length, wherein the steps comprises:
- A. melting said wax composition to a flowable state;
- B. depositing the flowable wax composition into said elastic glove;
- C. inserting said hand into said elastic glove;
- D. distributing the molten mixture over said hand;
- E. maintaining said hand within said elastic glove for an effective period of time; and
- wherein step A is carried out by heating said wax composition to a temperature between about 39° to 55° C. and step D is carried out by squeezing the exterior of said elastic glove.
