What are emollients?
Emollients are very effective moisturisers that soothe, smooth and hydrate the skin, helping to keep it moist and flexible, so that it does not itch as much.
Emollients are the first treatment for all dry skin conditions. They come in a range of different formats (creams, lotions, ointments, skin cleansers and bath additives) and should be used generously and frequently.
