Your skin is the protective barrier between your body and the rest of the world, which is why it’s so important to better understand what it needs so that you can maintain healthy, comfortable skin. 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. To max out your exfoliation, apply to dry skin rather than wet and leave on for a few minutes before rinsing off. The brand’s skincare range offers products for normal to dry skin types, as well as skincare suitable for eczema and psoriasis-prone skin. The latest addition to the ExfoliKate range and the brand’s first foray into body care in the UK market, this scrub contains manually exfoliating pumice, lactic and salicylic acids and papaya, pineapple and pumpkin enzymes to slough away the build-up of dead skin cells.

Now used around the globe, CeraVe skin care includes effective cleansers and moisturisers that focus on building a stronger natural protective barrier. You may be tempted to overdo it, but only use a scrub two or three times a week because irritation can worsen KP. Ointments are usually free of preservatives so are suitable for sensitive skin, but should not be used on weeping eczema.

For hydration, use a daily nourishing, unscented body wash and an exfoliating lotion used twice a day or as directed (if you have sensitive skin, you may be better off with a standard moisturiser instead). One that’s able to lock in moisture and keep your skin hydrated, healthy and ready to take on the world.

They should be smoothed, not rubbed, into the skin gently in the same direction that your hair grows. 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. CeraVe Daily Moisturising Lotion is a lightweight body moisturiser that helps hydrate the skin and protect its natural barrier.If you or your children need to use an emollient regularly, it's a good idea to keep some in small pots or tubes at home, school or work.

I recommend CeraVe Moisturizing Cream to my diverse patient population because its gentle, fragrance-free formula helps repair and maintain a healthy skin barrier by replenishing ceramides and locking in hydration. It lathers beautifully, so you don’t need much, meaning it lasts well, and it leaves skin soft and eliminates stiffness and flaky dryness.The scrub offers both manual (pumice) and chemical (lactic acid) exfoliation, while shea butter and moringa oil give it its creamy texture.
