Rubber Gloves Ruining Your Skin?
These NEW Aloe infused gloves offer preventive alternative to traditional gloves
Many professions require workers to wear rubber gloves as they serve multiple purposes; they protect the wearer from hazardous or infectious materials, or help maintain hand cleanliness when working with paints, grease and other staining substances. They also protect products from human contamination – think pharmaceuticals, food service and clean rooms.
The problem is that rubber gloves can do quite a number on your hands, especially if you are changing gloves several times a day, interspersed with frequent hand washing. Health care professionals, clean room employees and those preparing food know how wearing gloves the majority of the day affect hands, from cracking and drying to rashes and infections. Anti-bacterial gels are filled with alcohol, only making that option worse.
Aside from the very real dangers of latex allergies, impermeable gloves impact wearers by drying out the hands. When you wear a single-use glove, your skin produces moisture in that enclosed environment. That moisture does not evaporate the way sweat does over the rest of your body. Instead, it stays trapped in the glove creating an excess of moisture.
If gloves maintain moisture, that’s good, right? No. The moisture in the gloves signals your hands to stop producing the natural oils that keep skin healthy and soft. These areas of moisture can also quickly turn into rashes and infections, as warm and damp is the perfect environment for bacteria to thrive. Over-moisturizing afterwards can easily make things worse, aggravating sore spots and convincing your body enough moisture is present, when in effect it is only temporary.
Say goodbye to these problems and protect your most important tools – your hands. MDS is pleased to offer a series of aloe vera coated gloves that moisturize hands during use, greatly increasing the hydration your skin receives.
