GLOVES IN A BOTTLE

I'm a long sufferer of dry skin on my hands and fingers, and it used to be so bad with crackings and peelings, that when the skin of my hands fingers finally healed, my finger prints were horribly disfigured, I had a hard time scanning my thumb prints at the registration office.

I have been able to reduce contact dermatitis on my hands by staying away with the common irritants, but I cannot say the same for my feet as I've been diagnosed with eczema. I'm allergic to most seafood (but I can't say no to sushi, huh?) and my skin gets worse when exposed to dust, carpets, and chemicals in floor cleaners and detergents. I hate getting my feet wet too coz I know that will aggravate my condition. On a very bad day, my skin would itch like mad and my toes get so dry, it would crack and bleed that I'd have trouble walking.

The only way to stop and prevent the itching is to keep my skin moisturized. However, ordinary creams and lotions offer only temporary relief. If I get my skin wet, I'll have to re-apply, which is such a hassle, and who has the time to put on lotions all the time?

Moreover, do you know that if you have extremely dry skin, using the wrong type of lotion may be sending the wrong signal to your skin to produce less natural moisture when it is most needed?





I never knew that too, until I tried Gloves in a Bottle, a revolutionary shielding lotion that forms a protective barrier on the skin and allows the natural process of the skin healing. It doesn't rub off easily, allowing the skin to heal naturally faster.

Remember I mentioned that I had a bad case of skin allergy a week before Eid? Well thanks to Gloves In A Bottle, it took me half the time to heal my condition. My hands are noticeably smooth now and the skin on my feet showed tremendous improvement. What I love most about the lotion is it lasts for 12 hours- I don't have to worry about anything during the daytime, and when I apply it at night before bedtime, it provides me total protection from the cool air conditioner, so my feet do not feel even drier that it is before when I wake up in the morning, which is what normal lotions would do to my feet.

I would recommend this lotion, without a heartbeat, to anyone with severely dry skin. I gave some samples to MIL who appears to be suffering from the same condition as mine, and my mom thinks this is the best lotion she has ever tried because her hands doesn't get as dry now since she has to repeatedly wash her hands at the clinic. My bottle of this miracle lotion is almost running out, so I think I'd have to order a couple of bottles from here since this lotion is not available in Malaysia. Anyone else interested? Maybe we can all chip in and get a discount :p

Stay tuned for more stories about me and my troubled skin!

hi pweshes mama from brunei! nunu has problematic skin as well, esp at the neck area, and at the moment, she developed some kind of rash at the sides of her mouth. i'm not sure how this lotion would fare on smaller kids (coz we don't know what is the chemical level on it right) but I don't use it on Nunu coz we have a prescribed cream for her. however, i was thinking of trying the lotion on her coz apparently the creams the docs prescribed don't work. come to think of it, it really is hard to find a cure for eczema kan? there is no true miracle solution. all hype only lar... the best you can do it just keep it moisturized, which is hard work right?
