FAQs

How often should you use moisturizing gloves?

Use moisturizing gloves as often as needed, but ideally every night to deeply hydrate hands overnight. For very dry hands, use gloves 1-2 times per day.

What's the best moisturizer to use with gloves?

Look for thick creams and ointments with ingredients like shea butter, hyaluronic acid, dimethicone, ceramides, glycerin or petrolatum. Avoid lightweight lotions.

How long should you keep moisturizing gloves on?

Keep the gloves on for at least 6-8 hours, or ideally overnight while sleeping, to allow the moisturizer to thoroughly absorb.

Can gloves help eczema on hands?

Yes, wearing moisturizing gloves after applying eczema-friendly creams can help hydrate, heal, and repair dry, cracked, irritated skin.

When should you see a doctor for dry hands?

See your doctor if gloves aren't helping within 2 weeks, your hands worsen or become infected, or you have severe cracking, bleeding or swelling. An underlying condition may need treatment.
