Diprobase Daily Moisturising Cream 150 ml for Dry Sensitive Skin

Product Information

Certain activities, such as gardening, can irritate the skin. It may help to apply an emollient before doing these. Bayer UK said that this decision was due to marketing reasons and advised that anyone using Diprobase Ointment or Diprobase Creamdiscuss their requirements with their GP or pharmacist so that they can recommend a suitable alternative. It's especially important to regularly apply an emollient to your hands and face, as they're exposed to the elements more than any other part of your body. They can be used to replace lost moisture whenever your skin feels dry or tight. They're very safe and you cannot overuse them.

You may need to experiment with different emollients or try a combination. For example, you may decide to use a cream during the day and an ointment at night. How to wash with emollientsThis avoids diluting the effect of the treatment and spreading it to areas of skin that do not need it. When to apply emollients

If you're using a steroid cream or another treatment for your skin condition, wait 20 to 30 minutes between using an emollient and using the other treatment. Ask a doctor which one to use first. Everyday soaps, shampoos and shower gels usually dry out the skin and can make skin conditions like eczema worse. Emollients are often used to help manage dry, itchy or scaly skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and ichthyosis.

It's a good idea to protect babies' hands and cheeks with an emollient before mealtimes to stop them getting sore from food and drink. Lotions are good for hairy or damaged areas of skin (such as weeping eczema – where pus is seeping out of damaged areas of skin). This is because lotions are thin and spread easily, but they're not very moisturising. Sprays of babies completing the clinical study did not develop new flare-ups of extreme skin dryness over three months. They help prevent patches of inflammation and flare-ups of these conditions.
