In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

Gloves will reduce the amount of friction on your hands when you do house and yard work such as:  Raking leaves Shoveling snow Gardening Moving furniture or other heavy lifting This is a great way to take the pressure off an area that is getting irritated from friction. For extra protection, you can also wear gloves.  Use moleskin or another form of soft padding. You can purchase it at your local drugstore. Fold the moleskin or padding in half. Cut a half circle out along the fold. The cut should be the diameter of the area you want to protect. Unfold the moleskin. You will have a small round hole in the center that is the size of the area that is forming a blister. Fix the moleskin to your hand with the sensitive area exposed through the hole. The padding around it will take the pressure off and prevent a blister from forming. If you are engaged in a sport that causes your hands to be exposed to severe friction, consider increasing the amount you do slowly. This will give your hands time to form calluses. These are tough areas of skin which protect the softer skin underneath. If you feel a blister forming, stop and give your hands time to rest. When your skin is no longer sore, you can start up again. Sports where you may be particularly prone to blisters include:  Rowing Gymnastics Weight lifting Horseback riding Climbing

Summary:
Wear gloves when working with your hands. Apply a donut dressing to an area that is starting to form a blister. Build up slowly.
