Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Keeping the skin well moisturised is one of the most important aspects of managing dry skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. Emollients help restore the skin barrier, reduce water loss and improve skin comfort. Regular application, even when the skin appears settled, can help reduce flare-ups caused by dryness.
Apply Ovelle Paraffin Gel generously several times each day, particularly after bathing and hand washing. Use smooth downward strokes rather than vigorous rubbing to avoid irritating the skin. Continue using prescribed topical treatments alongside your emollient where appropriate, leaving sufficient time between applications if advised by your healthcare professional. If the skin becomes increasingly red, painful, swollen, weeping or shows signs of infection, seek medical advice promptly.
