Practical Tips
Dry skin conditions can be caused by a host of factors, both environmental and internal. Here are a few quick tips to help keep on top of dry skin conditions;
- Avoid wearing wool, or other fabrics which may irritate the skin.
- A humidifier can help to keep the air around you moist, preventing skin dry out too quickly.
- Don’t scratch your skin, no matter how itchy - this can cause damage which can lead to skin further drying out. Try tapping or patting the affected area instead.
- If possible, limit yourself to one 10-15 minute bath or shower each day. Bathing more than this can strip the skin’s natural protective oils, which help keep moisture sealed in.
Epimax Oatmeal Cream Alternatives
Some patients may find that Epimax isn’t as effective for them as other treatments. If that is the case, there are other dry skin treatments available on Simple Online Pharmacy. These include:
