FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
1. Does Gloves In A Bottle come off on my clothes or food?
No, Gloves In A Bottle binds with the outer layer of skin cells and becomes part of the outer layer of skin itself. Once absorbed, it comes off naturally as dead skin cells get sloughed off. Dead skin cells are constantly exfoliating on a microscopic level; Gloves In A Bottle does not interfere with this natural process.
2. Does Gloves In A Bottle come off if I wash my hands?
No, Gloves In A Bottle is bonded with the outer layer of skin, so it comes off naturally with the exfoliation process. In fact, Gloves In A Bottle was made to protect against the drying effects of repeated hand washings or high exposure to water and detergents. Doctors, dentists, nurses and other people who need to wash their hands a lot are protected.
3. How often do I apply Gloves In A Bottle?
Gloves In A Bottle lasts for up to 4 hours or more. After about 4 hours enough skin cells have sloughed off to cause the barrier to break down; for continued protection just reapply. Wash and dry your hands before re-applying.
4. Does my skin breathe and perspire with Gloves In A Bottle?
The outer layer of skin, if functioning properly acts a one way barrier, preventing irritants from coming in but still allowing it to breathe. Irritants, harsh soaps, antibacterial agents, etc., strip the natural oils and moisture from the skin. As a result the skin becomes much more susceptible to even more irritants penetrating it and thus stripping out even more moisture and oils.
Gloves In A Bottle aids the outer layer of skin to perform its intended function. It does this by restoring its natural balance, turning the outer layer of skin into what could be described as an invisible pair of gloves.
Gloves In A Bottle assists damaged skin in preventing moisture robbing irritants from penetrating and helps reduce moisture loss but does not prevent the skin from breathing . In fact it improves it because it helps keep the skin pores from being clogged by pollutants.

Gloves In A Bottle is a shielding lotion http://www.skincarenet.org/shielding-lotion.html , which means that it bonds with the skin cells of the outer-most layer of skin, turning the outer layer of skin into what could be described as an invisible shield.
Because it becomes part of the outer-most layer of skin itself, it does not wash off any more than the outer-most layer of skin can be washed off, but comes off naturally as the skin cells of the outer-most layer of skin exfoliate or “slough off”, within 24 hours.
15. Could you tell me the difference between skin md and the gloves in a bottle? When would I use one vs the other?
There are two Shielding Lotions, Gloves In A Bottle and Skin MD Natural.
Why use a Shielding Lotion?
A Shielding Lotion bonds with the outermost layer of skin, enhancing the skin’s ability to retain natural oils and moisture and assisting in the skin’s ability to protect against external irritants, soaps and other household and cosmetic products that strip natural moisture and oils out of the skin.
A Shielding Lotion is the best natural skin care treatment because it allows your skin to heal from within by its own oils, lipids and moisture, while simultaneously protecting it.
A Shielding Lotion is used preventatively to protect against dermatitis, skin irritations and allergies, and therapeutically for treatment of dry skin conditions such as cracked skin, psoriasis, eczema, itchy and flaky skin – dry skin anywhere on the body.
Best of all, Shielding Lotions don’t wash off – they come off naturally with exfoliated skin cells – which makes them a very economical and far more effective alternative to ‘moisturizing’ lotions.
What are the differences between Gloves In A Bottle and Skin MD Natural?
Gloves In A Bottle is the original formula shielding lotion. It is the thicker, more concentrated formula. For more information go to www.glovesinabottle.com
Skin MD Natural is a mostly natural formula that contains Vitamin E, Arnica, Aloe, Chamomile, Comfrey and Yarrow. It was designed specifically or the face but is frequently used all over the body.
