Dermatology care plan
Moisturisers
Apply moisturisers all over the body in long downward strokes, as thickly and as often as possible. Do these even when the skin is ‘good’.
If your moisturiser comes in a tub, use a spoon to scoop it out. Do not put your hands in the tub.
Treatments
Apply treatments to affected areas only, and only put on enough to leave a shine on the skin.
Face and neck
Body
