The new Face Glide balm was immediately put to use on approval of hospital Chiefs of Nursing and Heads of Infection Control. One city hospital ordered 2,000 to get our new product to the entire staff.

Body Glide, the leading provider of topical protection against chafed skin, has launched Face Glide, an invisible barrier against rubbing by masks that causes irritation, chafing and raw skin. The company immediately pivoted to meet an overwhelming need and demand for protection coming from frontline healthcare and other essential workers. Concept to delivery into hospitals was accomplished in ten days, and now Body Glide is able to provide essential protection to everyone wearing masks.

“The new Face Glide balm was immediately put to use on approval of hospital Chiefs of Nursing and Heads of Infection Control,” said Bill Sternoff, Body Glide’s CEO. “One city hospital ordered 2,000 to get our new product to the entire staff.”

As seen in pictures of nurses and doctors, masks trap heat and moisture, and combined with pressure from fabric and straps needed to make masks effective, faces are rubbed. It stings the skin, it burns, causes red rash in mild cases, and in others it can lead to swelling, bleeding, and the possibility of infection.

Face Glide is a unique, non-messy, fragrance free balm that swipes on from a pocket-size tube to cheeks, ears, nose, chin, wherever masks rub faces. It’s easy to use, gentle on skin, but it’s effective hour after hour whether the masks are homemade, surgical, KN95s or N95 respirators, and it’s also effective with face shields. It’s sweat and water resistant but it lets skin breathe.

Because it’s not a lotion or other liquid, Face Glide balm will not run into the eyes. It will not harm rubber or latex, and it’s safe on children.

Face Glide balm is available for $4.99. For more information on the Body Glide new face product, please visit http://www.BodyGlide.com.
