Beyond emollients

BEYOND EMOLLIENTS
Using an emollient to moisturise dry skin is only one part of the picture when managing dry skin.
Everyday soaps, shampoos, shower gels and bubble bath can be damaging and dry out the skin.
Using an emollient wash instead can help improve the skin and prevent it drying out.9
Aveeno® has a range of products that you can recommend for customers so they can adopt a complete skincare regimen.
Aveeno® Soothing Bath Soak is hypoallergenic*; it gently moisturises for soft, smooth, healthy-looking skin - even sensitive skin is relieved.
After bathing, the skin should be gently dried and an emollient such as Aveeno® Dermexa applied while the skin is still moist; experts believe that this may help trap moisture in the skin.
