Three elements of Skin Care

1. Cleanse:
   • The first step in maintaining and promoting optimal skin health is to cleanse.
   • Throughout the day, skin wastes and environmental contaminants can accumulate on the skin.
   • As a result, skin cleansers should be used at regular intervals.
   • To minimize potential skin sensitivities, allergens, or skin irritations, select a mild skin cleanser that is pH-balanced and made with few ingredients.
   • Cleansing of the body should be gentle, without scrubbing.
   • Once cleansed, gently pat dry.
   • If the skin is soiled from urine or stool, cleanse the skin frequently with a no-rinse, pH-balanced skin cleanser.
   • Select a no-rinse cleanser, a mild synthetic surfactant with emollients and humectants that cause minimal barrier disruption to the stratum corneum.
2. Moisturize:
   • The second step in maintaining and promoting optimal skin health is to moisturize.
   • Select a product free of potential irritants or scents.
   • Moisturizing the skin routinely, especially after bathing, can help reduce the risk of skin complications, such as dry skin, skin tears, and skin breakdown.
   • The use of moisturizers may also reduce friction injuries.
3. Protect:
   • The final step in maintaining and promoting optimal skin health is to protect.
   • Exposure to irritants and excess moisture from urinary and fecal incontinence can lead to painful dermatitis, skin breakdown, and Moisture Associated Skin Damage (MASD).
   • Skin barriers isolate the skin’s exposure to these elements.
   • An ideal moisture barrier has few ingredients and shields the skin from irritants, and excess moisture maintains skin hydration and avoids maceration.
   • Skin-protectant ingredients include petrolatum, dimethicone, or zinc oxide.
