We have had a relatively mild winter here in Sunny California, but in other parts of the country the weather is still cold. If you’re like me, dry, itchy skin doesn’t go away when the weather warms up. As a mom and a nurse I wash my hands 30-50 times a day (and that may be an underestimation!). It doesn’t matter how many times I lotion up…dry skin is here to stay. Well…that is until Gloves in a Bottle.
In the past, I’ve shared about the value of shielding lotions. But here is a recap. If you wash your hands as many times as I do, you’re stripping away the protective elements on the outer layer of your skin. Combine that with cold, dry winter weather, and harsh chemicals, colorants, fragrances, and antibacterial agents in soaps and cleansers, and you’re left with red, sore hands.I won’t take time to discuss the controversy over whether we should even be using antibacterial soaps and cleansers, but consider this article which suggests a link to an increasing number of resistant bacteria.

Most lotions and creams on the market aim to replace lost moisture and oils vital to your skin. That sounds like a great way to heal my dry, itchy skin, right? I didn’t know any better…until I started reading more about shielding lotions, which bond with the outer layer of the skin and replace the protective barrier, thereby keeping the irritants out and my skin’s own natural oils and moisture in. EVERY conventional lotion I’ve used on the market has rubbed off with hand-washing. At some point I decided that it is ineffective to use lotions at work, where I am constantly washing my hands. So I would wait until I got home to moisturize, hoping that my hands would heal overnight…only to wake up and do the same thing all over again. The result was persistent dry, irritated hands. What I love about Gloves in a Bottle is that it doesn’t wash or rub off. This shielding lotion stays on once applied to protect the skin. I do find that I have to apply it a couple of times during my 12 hour shift because I wash my hands so frequently AND the alcohol gel we are required to use is extremely harsh.
So how does Gloves in a Bottle work?
As a shielding lotion, Gloves in a Bottle bonds with the outer layer of your skin thereby locking in your skin’s own natural oils and moisture. It forms a web with dead skin cells that acts like an invisible pair of gloves, reducing the loss of your skin’s natural oils and moisture. The result is that your skin can heal itself. Rather than solely working on the outer layer of skin, like most conventional lotions and creams on the market, Gloves in a Bottle protects the deeper layers of the skin.

So when will the lotion come off?
Because Gloves in a Bottle becomes a part of the outer layer of your skin, it won’t wash off. Rather, it will come off naturally with exfoliating skin cells.
Since the lotion doesn’t “wash off,” will it make my hands feel greasy?
Gloves In A Bottle keeps the outer layer of skin functioning so well so it can breathe and perspire naturally. It feels smooth when I put it on but after a minute or so I don’t even notice that it’s on.
