Protective hand coverings utilized during skincare product application, specifically when decanting or extracting portions of a product for use, are essential. Consider the process of removing a measured amount of cream from a larger jar for daily application. This action necessitates careful handling to prevent contamination.
Employing a barrier between the skin and the product maintains the integrity of the formulation, preventing the introduction of bacteria, oils, and other contaminants. Historically, methods of product extraction were less sterile, potentially leading to shortened shelf life and diminished efficacy. The adoption of hygienic practices, including the use of these barriers, safeguards product quality.
