Disposable glove often comes already punctured of microscopic holes that are invisible to the naked eye. Moreover, the powder used in gloves is astringent, which on one hand, drains the skin by tightening pores through a vasoconstrictor mechanism thus reducing sebum secretion, and on the other hand, eases the gloving by acting as a lubricant. It is not advised to apply lotion before wearing gloves since skin moisturizer reduces the natural resistance of the skin. Moisturizers may as well contain ingredients which may weaken the chemical and mechanical resistance of the glove.
