www.nshealth.ca Burn Care 2020 Moisturizing Your Skin Instructions • Healed and grafted skin may be dry, scaly, and stiff. After bathing, apply any 1 of the following lotions to healed skin. › Aveeno® › Lubriderm® › Eucerin® › Neutrogena® Norwegian Formula Hand › Glaxal Base® Cream › Gold Bond® Unscented (Anti-itch) › Vaseline® Intensive Care (not regular) Choose the one that best suits your skin. These products may be available at your local pharmacy or drug store. You do not need a prescription. • Do not use creams or lotions recommended by family and friends until you have checked them out with your therapist first. Newly healed skin is very sensitive and may be damaged by the wrong lubricant. • Do not use mineral oil or Vaseline® ointment as they can lead to skin breakdown. • Elastic pressure garments can be damaged by products that have excessive oil, wax, lanolin, or petroleum ingredients. Water-based lotions are least harmful to your garments. Make sure the lotion is well absorbed (rubbed in) into your skin. • Apply lotion to all healed areas as often as needed to prevent dryness. You may need to use it every 3 to 4 hours. Use only enough lotion to lightly lubricate the skin. Gently rub the lotion in until it disappears. If not rubbed in completely, the lotion will dry on your skin and clog the pores. Your skin should feel soft and moist after putting lotion on, not greasy. • Rub the lotion on in thin layers. Massage it in gently at first, because new scars are fragile. As your scar matures, you can add more pressure to help make them less stiff. • Itching is often caused by very dry and cracked skin because of damage to the sweat glands. Moisturizing your skin regularly may help. What are your questions? Please ask.

Aloe Sunless Tanning Lotion Description and Purpose
Aloe Sunless Tanning Lotion Description and Purpose Forever’s rich, aloe vera-based Sunless Tanning Lotion lets you ‘tan’ safely year-round without the damaging effects of the sun’s UV rays. The more often you apply it, the deeper your tan becomes. Once you’ve attained your desired tan level, less frequent applications are necessary. Aloe Sunless Tanning Lotion’s special formula pampers your skin with a luxurious aloe-based blend of hydrating moisturisers for safe, year-round results. Achieve a natural-looking, smooth, even tan without the sun’s harmful rays. Application Tips For an even, streak-free tan begin by exfoliating and then drying your skin. Moisturise using any of our fabulous moisturisers and wait for 15 minutes for the lotion to be absorbed so that it doesn’t interfere with the DHA (the active ingredient in all tanning products). Use your hands or a large sponge to apply the lotion all over the body. Allow 20 minutes to dry - after which you can go to bed, or get dressed for the day (your clothes won’t affect the tanning process). 7 At a glance... • Doesn’t streak • No unpleasant smell while activating • Aloe based for additional moisturisation • Repeat application for a deeper tan • Doesn’t rub off onto clothes If the product is applied with your hands, wash thoroughly immediately after application or rub them with fresh lemon juice to prevent staining. The lotion will not protect you from UVA or UVB ray damage. Aloe Sunscreen (SPF30) will protect you from the damaging rays. Although the skin looks a lovely bronze colour, it has not been prepared for the sun in any way.

Compared Evaluation of Botulinum Toxin a and a Cosmetic Antiperspirant in the Treatment of Focal Axillary Hyperhidrosis
Journal of Cosmetics, Dermatological Sciences and Applications, 2013, 3, 190-196 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/jcdsa.2013.33029 Published Online September 2013 (http://www.scirp.org/journal/jcdsa) Compared Evaluation of Botulinum Toxin A and a Cosmetic Antiperspirant in the Treatment of Focal Axillary Hyperhidrosis Meike Streker, Stefanie Lübberding, Martina Kerscher Cosmetic Science, Department of Chemistry, University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany. Email: [email protected] , Received March 27th, 2013; revised April 30th, 2013; accepted May 8th, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Meike Streker et al. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. ABSTRACT Background: Primary focal hyperhidrosis can significantly reduce quality of life. Therefore a lot of treatment options in a range of conservative, physical and surgical techniques are available. Objective: To assess the efficacy of an antiper- spirant containing aluminum chloride compared to a Botulinumtoxin A treatment for patients with primary focal hyper- hidrosis. Methods and material: In this randomized, single-center, half-side trail, a clinical score was done by patients and physician to evaluate the severity of hyperhidrosis. Gravimetric tests were performed to gather the amount of sweat per unit of time. Furthermore the efficacy was determined using a four point questionnaire. Skin irritation was assessed by measuring pH value and transepidermal water loss. Results: A total of 22 patients were enrolled. Two weeks after baseline the hyperhidrosis level was significantly reduced (BTX-A: −92.9%, AL: 66.7%). In addition both treatment options induced a significant reduction of sweat production (BTX-A: −80.8%, AL: 68.8%).

Picking the Best Self Tanner
Picking the Best Self Tanner April 16, 2010 | These days, we all know the dangers of basking in the sun. But that doesn’t mean we’ve given up on the perfect golden glow. So when tanning under the rays of the sun is off limits, many consumers turn to self-tanners to get the job done. But with tanning lotions, bronzers and tanning sprays on the market, getting the perfect sun-kissed look can get complicated and confusing. Not anymore. Check out our comprehensive guide to self-tanners for all the information you need on the best self tanner for you. Or, go directly to our self tanner product recommendations >> First things first. When you take dangerous ultra violet rays out of the equation (these are the sun’s harmful rays that cause natural tans, in addition to sunburn and skin cancer), what is doing the bronzing? Most sunless tanners use dihydroxyacetone. It’s the only FDA-approved self-tanning agent, and works by causing a chemical reaction with the top layer of your skin, darkening it. According to Dr. Amy Derick, a board-certified dermatologist in Barrington, Illinois and media contact for the Women’s Dermatological Society, dihydroxyacetone is considered safe for the use of self-tanning. Keep in mind, though, that because your tan is caused by a chemical reaction, in order to maintain a certain level of glow, you need to continuously use your preferred tanning product or the color will fade. So that’s how sunless tanners work….but which one should you choose? These are the primary choices available.
