Product Information

Emollients are often used to help manage dry, itchy or scaly skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and ichthyosis. Lichen sclerosus causes itchy, white, fragile patches anywhere on the skin, but most frequently on the genitals. It's especially important to regularly apply an emollient to your hands and face, as they're exposed to the elements more than any other part of your body. If your skin stings after using an emollient wash product and does not settle after rinsing, ask a pharmacist to recommend a different product.

Spray over skin lightly from roughly 10-15cm away and apply a thin even layer. Can be used at any angle. Many studies have found that people who smoke are more likely to have psoriasis.

Lymphoedema is chronic condition that causes swelling in the body’s tissues due to a build-up of fluid. It can occur in any part of the body, but most commonly within the arms and legs. In addition stress can also increase the urge to itch your skin, which can worsen symptoms of eczema, causing the itch-scratch cycle.

As the skin ages, the barrier function weakens, causing water loss. This water loss, combined with an increased vulnerability to external factors, causes the skin to become dry. Controlling your eczema with frequent moisturisation (ideally at least 3 times per day) with an emollient such as Emollin is the first stage. Your doctor may also recommend a medicine such as steroids. They can be used to replace lost moisture whenever your skin feels dry or tight. They're very safe and you cannot overuse them. Emollients are moisturising treatments applied directly to the skin to soothe and hydrate it. They cover the skin with a protective film to trap in moisture. The genetic factors lead to a weakened skin barrier. The skin barrier is what protects the body from external irritants, when the skin barrier is weakened, we become vulnerable to external triggers penetrating the skin.Emollin Emollient Spray is easy to use as the can will spray at any angle so you can moisturise hard to reach areas!

Dry skin occurs as a result of abnormal water loss from the skin, due to a weakened skin barrier. Emollients work by forming a protective layer on the outer layer of the skin. This traps moisture within the skin, preventing TEWL (trans epidermal water loss) helping the skin barrier to repair itself. Flare ups can be triggered by environment factors such as heat, dust, itchy material in clothing, pet dander and irritants such as soaps, detergents and other chemicals. Your doctor or pharmacist will talk to you about which type of emollient will work best for your skin condition.
