Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: Gloves In A Bottle Botanical

Woohooooooo! This is really big news. Sorry to sound so over-excited, but this is the first twist on a product that has become a true beauty icon since it first crossed our desks.

If Gloves In A Bottle isn’t yet on your radar, here’s what you need to know. It gets the ‘gloves’ name because the formula creates a brilliant barrier against the world.

Here's how it works – which is different to pretty much any hand cream out there: ‘By creating a waterproof protective shield with the outer skin layer the drying and irritating effects of soap, chemicals, water hand sanitisers etc. is reduced and at the same time the natural oils and moisture are retained. This allows the natural healing process to occur leading to smooth and healthy-looking skin. Conditions like dermatitis and eczema can also be improved  due to the protective and restorative properties of Gloves In A Bottle.’ 

Yet it isn’t sticky, doesn’t take ages to sink in – au contraire, it is fast-absorbing and light in texture. We like to use it whenever we’re performing a tough-on-hands task – anything from gardening to washing-up.

Unsurprisingly, the original Gloves In A Bottle has been a bestseller on Victoria Health (where you can find this new version), since it very first launched.

And now there’s a new version! The ‘Botanical’ refers to the fact that this version now incorporates some effective botanicals, which also impart a very light aromatic scent. There’s yarrow to restore broken skin, aloe vera and arnica to soothe eczema-prone skin, chamomile to combat inflammation and redness, and comfrey for skin regeneration.

We’re feeling the (g)love…
