Any job that requires latex gloves or excessive hand washing can lead to extremely dry skin. If you wear medical scrubs it’s likely that your job requires both of those things. Fortunately for me, my job doesn’t require excessive hand washing or glove wearing. Nevertheless, my hands are consistently dry. It’s partially my own fault and probably can be attributed to the scalding hot water I use in the shower. But regardless, I know how terrible it is to constantly have dry hands.
When I was browsing through our samples of scrubs and medical clothing 
uniforms the other day I came across the Glove’n Care Hand Cream available from Lydia’s. I decided I would test it out, see if I liked it and share my thoughts with you
So here’s what I liked about it: The lotion was really creamy and rich, my skin seemed to absorb it quickly. My hands still felt moisturized for awhile after applying it so I didn’t need to reapply it frequently. Plus I only had to use a small amount when I did apply it. I also liked how my hands seemed less dry in general after I used it for a few days.
One more benefit is that the cream is water based. This doesn't mean much to me, but it should to anyone who wears latex gloves on the job.Other lotions are capable of breaking down latex, but water based, petroleum free lotions do not.
The only thing I didn’t like about it was the lack of fragrance. It did have a mild fragrance that smelled nice, but I like lotions with stronger scents. The mild fragrance is probably preferable for anyone who’s working with patients that might be sensitive to strong smells or anyone unlike me who doesn’t want a strong scent.
Overall, I would say this lotion is perfect for anyone in the medical profession, or anyone wearing latex gloves on the job. It was made just for you and it actually works really well!
Is there anyone else out there who has tried this hand cream? What do you think about it? Does it keep your hands moisturized during a long day wearing scrubs and working hard?
