A couple months ago I was sent some samples of a product called Gloves in a Bottle. This is a shielding lotion that, according to the product description, bonds with the outer layer of skin in order to “keep the bad stuff out and the good stuff in.” Gloves in a Bottle is supposed to work well on dry, cracked skin, as well as on tougher ailments such as eczema and psoriasis, so I was excited to try it out — particularly with the colder weather coming on.
The lotion is very light and gets absorbed instantly without leaving a greasy residue. I usually hate the feeling of lotion on my hands precisely because of the residue that most of the cheap products leave behind, so I was glad to see that Gloves in a Bottle was different.
My hands felt smoother and softer after the very first application, and after several weeks of use, I noticed a definite improvement in their overall appearance. Specifically, I had fewer problems with my cuticles and no longer had cracked skin in the areas between my fingers, so it really worked for me.
The best part of using Gloves in a Bottle, in my opinion, is the fact that the lotion doesn’t wash off. As someone who washes my hands quite frequently throughout the day (because of dogs, kids, and, yes, a bit of OCD!), I appreciate not having to worry about reapplying my lotion each time I wash up. I just use a tiny bit of Gloves in a Bottle every four hours, and I’m all set.
I don’t expect you to just take my word for it about the effectiveness of Gloves in a Bottle, so go read some doctor testimonials on the official website and try the product for yourself!
I’m an artist and a regular user of Gloves in a Bottle. I think it’s great stuff too! With the work I do I find myself washing my hands constantly. Despite the paint, oil and thinners I get all over them, Gloves in a Bottle makes it easier to keep my hands clean plus seems to save them from drying up and cracking. It is also fantastic at shielding my hands from any chemicals and dirt so I also use it whenever I’m cleaning the house (not so often!), gardening or doing any DIY and find. Great stuff – I get it from the UK Gloves in a Bottle website – very good service too.
