Cold weather reduces skin cell hydration, causing shrinkage and weakening the protective barrier. This is one reason why dermatitis on hands becomes more of an issue during the winter months. Shielding lotions help to restore the skin’s natural barrier by locking in moisture and forming a breathable layer.

Research from the University of Copenhagen shows that low humidity and cold temperatures impair the skin barrier, leading to dryness, itching, and dermatitis. Hands are especially vulnerable because frequent washing strips natural oils, leaving cracks and irritation. A shielding lotion like Gloves In A Bottle will act like an invisible glove by binding to the skin, preventing water loss and protecting against irritants, easing winter discomfort.
