If you’re experiencing an itch brought on by cold weather, it may be winter itch. It occurs when cold, dry air pulls moisture out of your skin and causes skin irritation. This type of dermatitis is not a rash. Symptoms include dryness, itching, redness and scaling. In some cases, small cracks in the skin and bleeding may occur.

Anyone can get winter itch, but some people who have a history of sensitive skin are more at risk than others. Older people also are at higher risk for developing dry, irritated skin in the winter. Environmental factors like temperature can worsen the condition, but a moisturizer like Gloves in a Bottle shielding lotion can protect your skin during the cold months.

Gloves in a Bottle shielding lotion locks in your body’s natural oils and moisture to repair the skin at its deepest levels. It bonds to the other layer of skin cells to create an invisible, protective shield, which keeps natural moisture in and protects the skin from the environment.

Gloves In a Bottle is a cruelty-free, vegan formula that is free from parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, propylene glycol, gluten, latex, dairy, wheat, soy, added fragrance, colorants, nuts and more. It is dermatology tested and prescribed, hypoallergenic, and it will not clog pores. All its ingredients are on the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) most safe list.

If your hands have been dry and irritated lately from washing and sanitizing them frequently, Gloves in a Bottle will keep them moisturized. This shielding lotion is also used to relieve uncomfortable skin irritation caused by eczema and psoriasis. Find it at a Carmichael’s retail location near you here.
