Skin care products

Skin products: Use products that have a mild pH with low or no fragrance. This can include wet wipes, body wash, moisturiser and laundry products. 

Barrier cream: A barrier cream controls moisture on the skin, especially in humid conditions. Barrier cream is best applied in the morning, after showering, to the groin and buttock areas that have low airflow when sitting. If using a zinc-based cream, the cream should be ‘invisible’ when applied to the skin.

Moisturiser: To maintain a balance of moisture on the skin, moisturise dry skin if required. If applying moisturiser to the buttocks is necessary, this is best done in the evening, to allow absorption and reduce moisture when sitting, during the day.
