The whole family can use Dermalo Bath Emollient and it is even suitable for babies. Skin is left softened, moisturised and protected and irritation is prevented. This formula is also suitable for use in combination with any other treatments your doctor or pharmacist has recommended.

Usage/Instructions

For maximum benefit you should use this product whenever you bath or shower.

For bathing:

Adults, older children and the elderly:

• Add approximately 15 to 20 ml (1 1?2 to 2 capfuls) to a normal sized bath filled with water to a depth of roughly 20 cm (8 inches).
• Get into the bath and cover the affected areas of skin with the bath water.
• Soak for 10 to 20 minutes.
• Pat the skin dry with a soft towel.
• Avoid rubbing with the towel because this makes dry skin conditions worse.

Babies and young children:

• Add approximately 5 to 10 ml (1?2 to 1 capful) to a small bath of warm water or wash basin.
• Submerge the affected areas of skin.
• Soak for 10 to 20 minutes.
• Alternatively, repeatedly sponge the water over the affected skin areas.
• Pat the skin dry with a soft towel.
• Avoid rubbing with the towel because this makes dry skin conditions worse.

For application to the skin while showering (for all age groups who normally shower):

• Smooth a similar amount of undiluted product onto wet skin.
• Rinse off thoroughly.
• Pat the skin dry with a soft towel.
• Avoid rubbing with the towel because this makes dry skin conditions worse.

You may prefer to use your normal soap as well as Dermalo Bath Emollient when bathing. As a general rule, however, the use of normal soaps and foaming bath products (even those labelled 'moisturising') is best avoided, or at least kept to a minimum. Ideally, a fragrancefree soap substitute should be used instead, despite the fact that this type of product does not foam or lather.

If you forget to use Dermalo Bath Emollient

Do not worry if you occasionally forget to use it, just carry on using the product as described the next time you require it.
