SKIN DISORDERS NEED MORE THAN JUST EVERYDAY CARE

Atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, diabetes: even though the characteristics of these disorders are extremely different, in the majority of cases they have one thing in common: sufferers usually have a skin barrier that is not intact. The moisture content of the skin is already experiencing problems, yet it is weakened even further; symptoms such as dry skin, feelings of tautness, eczemas due to dehydration and occasionally excruciating itching are intensified.

In all these cases, consistent basic care is required. However, not every cream is equally suitable: the ailing skin must be protected, but must still be allowed to breathe. Despite maximum effectiveness, the skin must not be irritated by additives. Finally, treatment that needs to be repeated several times a day needs to give the patient minimum restraints – textiles and greasy creams are not a good combination!
