Comfortable Bamboo Eczema Gloves

If your hand is covered with dermatitis or eczema, you may need relief or physical glove protection when you are using your hands for dry work or at night. A comfortable glove at night would also help to prevent aggravating your skin from the itch-scratch cycle which tends to be more severe at night. The greatest challenge is to find a breathable and comfortable glove that protects your sensitive and wounded skin in Singapore’s humid weather. The best recommended material that we came across so far is made from bamboo.

Benefit of Bamboo :

Here are some benefits of using gloves made from bamboo material for sensitive skin :

• Antibacterial/Antifungal -Bamboo fabric is composed of strong anti-microbial properties. It is believed to consist of 3 times more anti-bacterial qualities than cotton.
• Ideal for sensitive skins – Bamboo fiber is smooth and round, its natural fiber properties make it non-irritating to the skin. Bamboo fiber is unbelievably soft and non abrasive.
• Regulates your Skin Temperature – In hot temperatures, bamboo cools the body by three degrees. This is a very good property to ensure the skin does not get heated further by the heat that is trapped below the fabric.

Their bamboo gloves have received at least 4-5 stars from most of their customers who provided reviews on their product pages. They have a good pictorial improvement of one of their customer who had used the gloves over emollient :

However, if you dislike the feeling of a physical barrier on your hands, we highly recommend at the minimum – to apply a “shielding lotion” which serves as an “invisible gloves”. Our bestselling “Gloves in a Bottle” shielding lotion protects and allows the skin to naturally retain oil while preventing flare-up from external irritants and allergens.  It works almost as effective as a bamboo gloves in terms of protection from external irritant, but a bamboo glove can provide a physical barrier of protection from further injury.
