SENSITIVE SKIN CARE INSTRUCTIONS

When bathing:
  • Keep showers short (5-10 minutes)
  • Keep the water temperature cooler (no steam on the mirrors)
  • Use a soap such as Dove, Oil of Olay, Cetaphil, or Basis. It is fine to use either the liquid or bar form of these and similar soaps
  • If you take baths, avoid adding perfumed bath oils and bubbles to the water


Immediately after bathing:
  • Apply your medicine (if applicable)
  • Moisturize well
  • The thicker the moisturizer, the better
  • Look for moisturizers which come in jars or tubes. Pump lotions contain a lot of water which can further dry out your skin
  • For extra relief, you may wish to keep your moisturizer or cream medicines (not ointments) in the refrigerator. The application of cold creams may be very soothing


When laundering clothing:
  • Use a detergent that is "free and clear" (such as All or Cheer Free and Clear)
  • Do NOT use fabric softener
  • Do NOT use bleach


Other reminders:
  • Sleep in a room with a humidifier


If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
