Skin care
Doctors and nurses can significantly improve
skin health by focusing on the three basic things of cleansing, moisturizing
and protecting the skin.
Recommended skin care steps
A
structured skin care regimen consists of three care elements: cleansing,
moisturizing and protection.
Cleaning
The first step in maintaining and promoting
skin health is cleaning the skin. During the day, skin debris and environmental
pollution can accumulate on the skin. As a result, skin cleansers should be
used at regular intervals. To minimize possible skin sensitivities, allergies
or skin irritations, choose a gentle skin cleanser that is pH balanced and has
the appropriate ingredients. Cleansing the body should be gentle and preferably
without washing. After cleansing, gently pat the skin dry.
If the
skin is soiled with urine or feces, clean the skin frequently with skin normal
pH,no-rinse skin cleanser. Choose a leave-in cleanser that contains a mild
surfactant along with emollients and moisturizers that cause minimal disruption
to the stratum corneum.
Moisturize
The
second step in maintaining and promoting optimal skin health is to moisturize
the skin. Choose a product that is free of irritants or fragrances.
Moisturizing the skin regularly, especially after bathing, can help reduce the
risk of skin complications such as dry skin, chapped skin, and skin breakdown.
Damage caused by friction can also be reduced by using some moisturizers.
Protection
The last step in maintaining and promoting optimal skin health is
protection. Exposure to irritants and excess moisture from urinary or fecal
incontinence can lead to painful dermatitis, skin breakdown, and
moisture-related skin damage. Skin barriers solve the problem of skin exposure
to these elements. An ideal moisturizer protects the skin from irritants and
excess moisture, keeping the skin hydrated and preventing it from becoming wet.
