How to use

Run your Handjies under warm water and wring out the excess. Wipe in gentle circles — use your fingertips for the lash line, inner corners and hairline.

Rinse the glove as you go. That's it: no cleanser, no pads, no micellar water.

Care

After each use, lather with a little soap, rinse under warm water and hang to air dry.

Once a week, pop them in the washing machine for a deeper clean. Skip fabric softener — it coats the fibres.

What's in the box

One pair of Handjies — a left and a right glove — in the colour you choose. Bundles include a pair per colour slot you select.

Delivery & returns

Tracked delivery nationwide, usually 1–2 business days. Free delivery on orders over R400 — which includes every bundle of two or more pairs.

How it works

Wet. Wipe. Wash.

As easy as washing your hands — because that's basically what it is.

  1. Wet

    Run under warm water, then wring out. Damp, not dripping.

  2. Wipe

    Gentle circles over your face. Fingertips handle the lash line and inner corners — foundation, mascara and SPF lift into the fibres.

  3. Wash

    Lather with soap, rinse, hang to dry. Machine wash once a week and it's ready again tomorrow.

The honest comparison

One pair. Nothing to restock.

Questions

Good questions.

Does it really work with just water?

Yes. The microfibre is split at a microscopic level, which makes the fibres fine enough to grip and lift makeup that water alone would just smear. The glove does the job cleanser used to.

Will it take off waterproof mascara?

Yes — hold a damp fingertip over closed lashes for a few seconds, then wipe down gently. No tugging required.

Is it OK for sensitive skin?

There are no actives, fragrance or surfactants involved — just microfibre and water — and customers with sensitive skin tell us it's gentler than wipes. If you're managing a skin condition, check with your dermatologist first.

How long does a pair last?

Up to 500 uses with normal care. Wash after each use and machine wash weekly, without fabric softener.

Why would I want two pairs?

So there's always a clean one ready while the other dries. It's also where delivery becomes free.

Does the colour matter?

Every colour performs the same. Darker shades hide makeup marks between washes; lighter ones show you exactly what came off.

How fast is delivery?

Tracked nationwide, usually 1–2 business days. Free on orders over R400.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Use it for up to 30 days. If you're not convinced, we'll refund you.

No irritation at all, which matters a lot with my sensitive skin. The fabric feels lovely against my face, yet it still gets the makeup off thoroughly.

S
Shanice Hendricks

Never thought I would move away from my trusty cleansing balm. Now a little water and these gloves get the job done in no time. They have really won me over.

L
Lindiwe Zulu

More orders from me are definitely on the cards. The imperfect pairs I got for my daughters are every bit as good as the pair I started with. I also appreciate how readily this lovely small business responds.

K
Keshni Chetty

My skin has benefited so much from these. Could not be happier with them!

R
Riana Joubert

I am stocking up for presents: another four pairs across two boxes. There is nothing amiss with the clearance ones, and I can match the mixed colours to different people. My own pair has had a month of use and four washes inside a lingerie bag. They wash up nicely, with a short ten-minute tumble dry giving them some extra fluff. I am such a fan.

T
Tamsin Brown

Happy to recommend these after giving them a go myself. My makeup was completely gone, the fabric felt gentle, and a rinse cleaned them out. Glad I took a chance on that Instagram advert.

K
Kirsten Olivier

Mum is getting the spare pair from my bundle! I was already a fan before buying the ones labelled imperfect. Putting them next to my regular pair, I cannot spot anything different at all.

C
Charné Visser

Full marks from me. Of the four pairs I ordered, the one I have used does exactly what it should. They all look great, and I have a couple earmarked for friends.

R
Refilwe Molefe

I have been telling everyone about these, so here is my recommendation for anyone still deciding. Writing a review is unusual for me, but they deserve it. An Instagram advert first made me curious, even if I did not quite believe it. As someone who cannot stand washing her face, I am amazed by the difference they make. Whoever came up with this had a great idea.

L
Liezel Venter

The cotton pad I used for toner afterwards came away clear, with no remaining makeup, dirt or face wash. That was a lovely result. Oils and lotions have not always been thorough enough for me, while a normal face wash tends to splash everywhere and drip down my arms. With these, I can remove makeup using no cleanser, or wash and rinse with face wash without that mess. Cleaning the gloves afterwards is straightforward as well.

A
Ayesha Davids

These get plenty of use in our house, from both me and my daughter. Nothing complicated about using them, and the fabric feels lovely.

N
Nomvula Sithole

Very happy with these!

M
Michelle Fortuin

Would recommend, although I have only tried them once. My original wording about that first use was ‘not pressed so far’.

P
Priya Moodley

A big thumbs-up from me!

T
Thandeka Ndlovu

My family are now fans too! After getting three pairs for myself, I bought more for them. Water is all I need to lift off my makeup before continuing with my evening cleanse. Definitely worth recommending.

A
Annelie du Plessis

The handles are a real plus for me. Of the products like this, these come out on top.

Y
Yolanda September

A purchase I am delighted with. The parcel reached me promptly, and the fabric feels lovely on my face. More importantly, the makeup removal lives up to the promise that caught my eye on Instagram.

J
Jolene Marais

Taking my makeup off feels far less of a chore now. Really pleased with the gloves and with the service I received from Mooi Beauty.

I
Ilse Kruger

Much less to pack when I go away, and much less time spent at the bathroom sink each evening. Even though I usually wear a complete face of makeup, using these is straightforward.

M
Monique Lombard

Being able to take off eye makeup without sore eyes is what makes these stand out for me. Warm water does the job, whereas the remover I used before often left that area sensitive.

S
Sumaya Kader

Still going strong, and cleaning them out is straightforward. They also do the makeup-removal job without a cleanser. Plenty to be pleased about here.

S
Simone Cloete

Some were presents, but one pair stayed with me! Covering my face, neck and chest takes far less time than working through cotton pads. The fabric feels gentle and rinsing it out is simple.

S
Shireen Isaacs

The quick drying was a pleasant surprise. Best of all, I can get mascara off without that smudged ring around my eyes, which used to be the most irritating part of the process.

T
Tasneem Salie

Friends have already heard my recommendation. I am pleased with how my skin feels afterwards and how little effort removal takes. I was especially doubtful about mascara coming off with nothing but water, but it did.

M
Mandisa Mbeki

My face feels comfortable and refreshed when I am done. A little warm water is enough, so I no longer have that urge to scrub everything off. Very pleased to have these.

A
Anika Rossouw

Really appreciated the way Mooi Beauty dealt with a minor problem I had with one glove. It was handled promptly and easily. Very pleased with the product too.

C
Carla Erasmus

Everything I hoped for in a makeup-removal glove: comfortable fabric, thorough removal and no trouble rinsing it out when I am finished.

L
Lynette Bezuidenhout

Even a nearly makeup-free day left more on these than I expected! Another useful discovery was that they took off remnants of my self-tan well too.

D
Deshni Padayachee

Both the gloves and the people behind them get my recommendation. I have passed their name on several times. A minor problem was met with a helpful, friendly response and sorted quickly.

P
Palesa Mthembu

I can look forward to wearing makeup again. Previously, the irritation from taking it off sometimes put me off wearing any at all. These feel much kinder to my skin.

B
Busisiwe Mahlangu

My heavier base and eye makeup come away without much work, and afterwards my face still feels comfortable rather than dried out. I had my doubts about those Instagram adverts, especially the water-only claim. Having used them, I believe it.

H
Hanlie Vermeulen

What used to be a task I dreaded is now an easy, comfortable part of my routine. Lovely fabric, quick makeup removal and beautiful presentation when the parcel arrived.

F
Faith Mabaso

Happy to put in a good word for Mooi Beauty. The presentation was beautiful, and the gloves themselves feel wonderfully gentle while making makeup removal effortless.
