Moisturisers, emollients or barrier creams
A moisturiser is any product designed to hydrate (add moisture to) the skin. Emollients soothe inflamed skin. Barrier cream can also be used to keep moisture in and create a barrier against harmful chemicals. Always test for allergies; do a spot test with any product you have not used before, waiting 24 hours to check for any skin reaction before using the product. Consider the following in using a moisturiser, emollient or barrier cream.
