Dry Skin Treatment Provides Relief for Health Care Professionals

Doctors and other health care professionals have to protect themselves and their patients from bacteria and viruses. Unfortunately, that requires constantly washing their hands - often with harsh, antibacterial soap. This battle against germs opens the door to another battle – preventing and treating cracked, dry skin. Thousands of doctors now use a good shielding lotion to protect their hands, and they also recommend it to their patients.

“I recently was given some of your product to try by a friend. The results were ideal in helping me with dry hands. My name is Dr. Peter Solo. I am an optometrist in Toronto and also a partner in a company called Optego vision. As a health care professional I wash my hands 30 to 40 times daily and your cream has greatly helped in keeping my skin from cracking. My company supplies eye care professionals with varied optical products both in Canada and USA. Your shielding lotion is a product which I am sure would be of interest to our customer base... “

Why is a shielding lotion more effective than traditional moisturizers? According to Dr. Brian Zogg, a dermatologist practicing in Albert Lea, Minnesota, “The artificial moisturizers in conventional creams and lotions can send a signal to the moisture producing parts of your skin that enough moisture is present. Your skin then makes less of the natural moisture needed to resolve a dry skin problem. With a shielding lotion you protect your own natural oils and moisture in the skin, so it heals faster.”

In fact, many skin conditions heal with a shielding lotion alone. “We recommend a good shielding lotion to our patients and we have typically seen them ask for more. Often our best indicator that the lotion worked effectively is the fact that they did not come back to the office for another visit – the condition cleared right up,” said Dr. Lisa Benest, a Board Certified General and Cosmetic Dermatologist in Burbank, California.

If you’re a health care professional still looking for an effective dry skin treatment for yourself or your patients, give shielding lotion a try.
