Talcum powder can work like a moisturiser to help soothe extra dry skin. If you have areas of irritated skin, rub a bit of talcum powder in to calm it. Dermatologically approved and clinically tested for use on dry and eczema prone skin, Cuticura’s Mildly Medicated Talcum Powder is a multi-purpose bathroom essential. Consultant Dermatologist Dr Justine Hextall says “If you find that eczema prone areas of skin get hot and sweaty throughout the day and are making the irritation worse, use Medicated Talcum Powder to calm the affected skin, particularly concentrating on skin folds and the groin area to prevent a sore flare up. The zinc and allantoin in the Mildly Medicated product will help to soothe the symptoms and therefore prevent scratching.” The blend of skin friendly, triclosan-free ingredients mean the product is perfect to use on dry and eczema prone skin and provide personal freshness and comfort the whole family can enjoy. Keep it on hand throughout the summer and winter months when your skin tends to get really dried out.9 of 24
