NEW* AVEENO
SOOTHING BATH SOAK
Aveeno Soothing Bath Soak is the latest product in the Aveeno range. Dissolved in water, it helps to relieve and soothe very dry, itchy and irritable skin while washing.
It is also suitable for people who may be prone to eczema. It can be used before moisturising alongside other products in the Aveeno range for a complete skincare regime.
SELF-CARE ADVICE6
- Limit time in the shower or bath - Reduce it to 5 to 10 minutes. Use lukewarm, not hot, water and a gentle cleanser
- Moisturise immediately after washing - Moisturise while the skin is still damp; ointments, creams and lotions work by trapping existing moisture in the skin
- Use a humidifier - This helps to add much-needed moisture to the air and helps prevent skin from drying out
- Choose fabrics that are kind to skin - Natural fabrics, such as cotton and silk, allow the skin to breathe
- Gently pat the skin dry with a towel - Don't rub
