Skin health is often neglected in everyday working life. According to studies, up to 30% of employees in medical and nursing professions suffer from hand eczema. To prevent skin irritations and keep hands healthy, the right prevention is crucial. The new series from DESCOLIND, which are tailored to different skin types, provide support in this regard.
The DESCOLIND COMFORT, PURE and EXPERT series cleanse, care for and protect the skin of the hands individually. With selected formulas, the different needs of normal, sensitive or allergy-prone skin are optimally met.
Normal skin is the ideal condition. This is how this skin type can be recognized:
The skin on the hands is supple and shows no redness or flaking.
The body's own protective film, also called hydrolipid film, is intact.
Natural processes such as sebum production, pH regeneration, desquamation and perfusion are well-balanced.
Fresh: The DESCOLIND COMFORT range provides a diverse product line to help maintain healthy skin. Users can support the natural barrier function of their skin with lightly perfumed formulations. The emulsions provide different levels of intensive care, depending on the product selected.
Preservation of the natural acid barrier through pH-neutral skin formulations
Avoidance of a drying effect through moisture retention factors
Oil and moisture supply according to requirements due to different types of emulsion
Creating a feeling of freshness through skin-compatible and subtle fragrances
Sensitive skin reacts with irritation even to minor external stimuli. This is how this skin type can be recognized:
The hands react more sensitively to stresses such as wet work.
They are often dry; the skin tautens and reddens quickly.
The hydrolipid film is weakened; the hands look rough and flaky.
Irritation: Sensitive skin does not tolerate an excess of ingredients. At the same time, it is important to prevent further dehydration. If the skin becomes chapped, for example, unpleasant symptoms such as burning appear. Among other things, this impairs compliance with hand disinfection.
Hypersensitive, allergy-prone skin reacts to environmental influences with an exaggerated defense reaction that is hereditary. This is how this skin type can be recognized:
The skin is often prone to extreme dryness, combined with redness and itching.
There is an increased risk of developing hand eczema.
Contact with cleaning agents, fragrances or preservatives etc. can cause inflammatory changes.
Irritation: People with hypersensitive skin are often also allergy-prone, so-called atopy sufferers, usually for their entire life. The risk of inflammatory or even chronic skin disorders also remains. In hygiene-relevant professions, regular care with non-irritating products and effective protection against harmful activities are essential.
Demanding: The products of the DESCOLIND EXPERT range contain particularly high-quality ingredients. They specifically avoid potential triggers of inflammation, such as fragrances, colorants and silicone. The care products have a high lipid content to counteract the extreme dryness of atopic skin. Users can choose between emulsion types with different levels of lipids and moisture, including a very effective and well-tolerated skin protection cream.
