How to use emollients How to use emollients on your skinRoughly 1 in 5 children in the UK has eczema, with most experiencing eczema for the first time before the age of 5. Most children find that their eczema improves or clears up completely as they get older. Emollin emollient spray allows the treatment of dry skin, without the need to rub fragile skin, which could otherwise result in skin tears and damage. + Lymphoedema Flare ups can be triggered by environment factors such as heat, dust, itchy material in clothing, pet dander and irritants such as soaps, detergents and other chemicals. Dry skin occurs as a result of abnormal water loss from the skin, due to a weakened skin barrier. Emollients work by forming a protective layer on the outer layer of the skin. This traps moisture within the skin, preventing TEWL (trans epidermal water loss) helping the skin barrier to repair itself.

Everyday soaps, shampoos and shower gels usually dry out the skin and can make skin conditions like eczema worse. Spray over skin lightly from roughly 10-15cm away and apply a thin even layer. Can be used at any angle. Keep fingernails short: Regularly trimming fingernails will helps to reduce the impact of scratching on the skin. The protective layer created by an emollient also helps to prevent the penetration of external irritants and allergens into the skin. + Is eczema contagious?

If your skin stings after using an emollient wash product and does not settle after rinsing, ask a pharmacist to recommend a different product. Using emollients with other skin treatments Emollients are moisturising treatments applied directly to the skin to soothe and hydrate it. They cover the skin with a protective film to trap in moisture. Research has found that in people who experience psoriasis, t-cells become overactive, leading to rapid growth of skin cells. This build-up of cells creates the tell-tale patches of skin we know as psoriatic plaques. + Where can I buy Emollin®?
