How do I choose the right cream or ointment for skincare?

Healthy skin starts with the right care, and selecting the appropriate cream or ointment depends on individual skin needs.

When caring for dry or delicate skin, creams and ointments provide essential protection and hydration. A cream is typically water-based and absorbs quickly, making it ideal for daily moisture balance. In contrast, an ointment contains a higher concentration of oils, creating a protective barrier that helps maintain skin integrity. Choosing the right product depends on skin type, condition, and the level of nourishment required.

How can I support the skin health of residents?

For individuals with delicate or vulnerable skin - such as residents who require assistance with personal care - regular application of a suitable skin barrier cream can help maintain skin comfort. Look for dermatologically tested formulations that support the skin’s natural balance while providing long-lasting moisture and protection.
