What symptoms or conditions can be treated with White Soft Paraffin?
White Soft Paraffin is effective in treating various dry skin conditions, including eczema, psoriasis, ichthyosis, and general skin dryness. It can also help soothe chapped lips, prevent nappy rash, and protect skin from environmental irritants.
How does White Soft Paraffin work?
White Soft Paraffin works by creating an occlusive layer on the skin's surface, which prevents water loss and helps maintain skin hydration. This protective barrier also shields the skin from external irritants and allows it to heal naturally, reducing inflammation and discomfort associated with dry skin conditions.
Is White Soft Paraffin safe for long-term use?
Yes, White Soft Paraffin is generally safe for long-term use as it's a gentle, non-irritating emollient. However, if you have any concerns or experience any adverse reactions, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional.
Can White Soft Paraffin be used on the face?
White Soft Paraffin can be used on the face, particularly for very dry or chapped areas. However, it's quite thick and may feel greasy, so some people prefer lighter moisturisers for facial use, especially if they're prone to acne.
Usage and Instructions
How often should White Soft Paraffin be applied?
White Soft Paraffin can be applied as often as needed, typically 2-3 times daily or more frequently if required. For best results, apply after bathing or showering when the skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture.
