FACIAL SKIN CARE | My name is Crista and I live in Ohio. I have had a severe allergy to Aspartame (name brand Nutra Sweet) since I was 16. As I have gotten older my allergy has progressed. I am now to the point that I can not touch it, smell anything that has it as an ingredient, and if I am in a room where it has gone airborne (i.e. someone has opened a diet soda) you may as well call the ambulance. You see, Aspartame puts me into anaphylactic shock, regardless of the amount in which I come into contact. I am sure that you are aware of how many products are out there with this sweetener in them. Way too many, to my families thinking. I have been unable to hold a job, because I never know if I am going to have a reaction, and when I do have a reaction I am so painfully swollen it is grotesque. I am sooo sensitive, that talking to or even hugging people has become dangerous. Between the diet sodas, the sugar free gums and breath mints, if they so much as pronounce a heavy 'p' sound their spittle (that we can't see with the naked eye) will send me into a reaction. So, my family and I have been on the hunt for things that will make my life a little easier. We were all getting very discouraged when my husband and I went to Gatlinburg, TN for our 10 year anniversary this past September. That's where we happened upon your product. We were shopping in a small garden store in the Old Mill area, and the lady in charge of the store was putting some on her hands. She was getting ready to check out our purchases and was really going on about this lotion. There was a display of it on the counter, and I pulled one of the bottles out and started reading. I couldn't believe my eyes! I thought, 'if this stuff is half as good as she says and the label reads, this might be worth it'. I showed it to my husband and he agreed that it might be worth a try. I immediately put it on my hands, all the way up my arms (as I was wearing a sleeveless t-shirt under a long sleeve shirt, the long sleeve was supposed to protect me), and around my neck area. My hubby and I were going to be heading into the Mill for lunch (which of course is taking a HUGE chance every time I walk into a restaurant), and we thought this would be a great testing ground for the product. Let me tell you, it was! We always ask for a table away from the drink station to help keep me safe, and we did so this time and ended up at a table in the corner. In the past when I have gone to restaurants I have had to wear pants, long sleeve shirts, gloves and a surgical mask to stay safe. This time it was just pants, Gloves In A Bottle and a mask. Needless to say our waitress got the whole scoop about how I needed her to be careful with my food and drink, to keep it away from other people's diet sodas. When we told her that, she about flipped her lid. She let us know that the couple that had just vacated that table were both drinking diet and are we sure we wanted to sit there. Alan (my hubby) and I looked at each other and Alan said "It will be a true test if we can make it through lunch without an episode." I agreed and we stayed. That was the first meal that I have had in a restaurant, that didn't know who I was, or what they needed to do to help keep me safe. (some of our hometown restaurants that we frequent have been very kind in providing some measure of safety for me) After we ate, Alan and I were extremely excited about the product and immediately went back to the store and bought their last 7 bottles! The next day I covered all skin that was exposed to the air, hands, arms, neck, legs, and my face below my cheek line. We rode the trolley into downtown from Pigeon Forge, and I made sure to reapply every 3 hours just to make sure I was covered. I walked all of Gatlinburg that day, including the mall, and didn't have any allergic reactions from Aspartame on my skin. Talk about a miracle! Since then, my family has purchased many bottles of the 'Gloves' for me. It is amazing what your product does. I had my brother put some on before we had BBQ ribs, and I tell you what, every little bit of the sauce was able to be rinsed off without any soap. Of course, we did end up using soap, but it was a lot of fun to watch sticky BBQ roll off your fingers under clear water! I just wanted to say 'Thank You'. You probably can't understand what a huge relief finding you product truly was! I still have to be super careful, but at least now I don't have to worry quite so much about what I am touching (and who had what on their hands when they touched it before me). If you ever need a poster child, I'm willing! Thanks again, and God Bless You and Your Company! Crista Flege Cincinnati, OH Last week at Walgreens, on a whim, I bought Gloves In A Bottle. I am a nurse and my hands were beginning to look a lot older than I felt. I've bought bottles and bottles of lotions promising me results that didn't happen. Often the lotions felt nice until I washed my hands again. Rough yucky looking nurse hands and getting worse. Scullery maids and I had a lot in common, so I didn't expect much... another bottle to line my shelves in the bathroom. Every now and then something comes along that really really works!!!!!!!!! I put your lotion on before I went to bed. The next morning while washing my hands I was befuddled at first to notice that my hands looked younger (my face was the same, so no aliens abducted me and accidentally returned me to the past.) I then remembered the Gloves In A Bottle, fetched it off the shelf and put it in my purse. I used it all last week and then accidentally left the bottle at work yesterday. So I raced off to Walgreens to buy several bottles this time. Some for me and some to share. I couldn't find it anywhere. So I asked a sales clerk for help. "It didn't sell", said the sales clerk, " so we sent it all back". aaaaaarrrrrrgggguhhhh.... I told her they had made a big mistake, as I had been showing everyone at work and telling any one who would listen how great this stuff was. The sales clerk called another store. "Nope they sent it back too, said it wasn't selling and it cost too much." I told her the truth, I'd rather pay a little more for something that works than buy lots of bottles of lotion that don't work! I then visited two more Walgreens in hopes that they had a lazy manager, alas, they were all doing what they were told to do. Dumb, dumb, dumb! and then I went to two "beauty" store outlets...Dang...Dang...Danggggg. So here I am on your web site...I went to Google, typed in Gloves In A Bottle lotion and it came right up. YIPPPPEEEE! I have ordered two bottles and all's right with the world again, except at Walgreens were I think the management made a dumb decision. PS... And my hands look better than they have in years! THANKS M.M. Registered Nurse Missouri | |||
