Your most frequently asked questions about 2-In-1 Oil
If you have dry to very dry skin, you may often experience discomfort including tightness, tingling, cracking and unpleasant itching sensations. Some people also suffer from redness, flaking, or roughness. Dry skin is common in babies, who produce little or no sebum, and in the elderly. However, many adults are also affected. If you suffer from atopic dermatitis, your skin will be very dry with characteristic patches of atopic eczema, which can cause intense itching sensations and a risk of infection if scratched. Many babies and children are prone to atopic dermatitis (or atopic eczema) on the face and body. Adults may also get it on their hands and eyelids.
ioderma's Atoderm range comprises different formulas and textures adapted to the different needs of dry to very dry and eczema-prone skin including creams, oils and balms. They are specially designed to nourish, moisturise and protect all types of dry skin – without creating any additional stress or damage. Depending on your skin and the time of year, you can choose from toderm Intensive Balm, ATODERM Cream Ultra, and Atoderm 2:1 Oil.
The best way to hydrate dry and very dry skin is applying a moisturiser twice a day. But here are a few extra tips. Use gentle, soap-free cleanser with physiological pH that doesn't strip the skin and preserves its hydrolipidic film, such as Atoderm Shower Oil or Atoderm Shower Gel. Avoid very hot water as it can strip the skin of its natural oils – give long showers and baths a miss too. Dry your skin gently by dabbing with a soft towel (rather than rubbing) to avoid irritation. Wear undergarments made from cotton or another natural fiber, preferably with a soft, non-irritating texture. Apply a layer of moisturiser before wearing tight jeans. Rinse and moisturise your skin if exposed to potential stressors such as seawater, chlorine, sweat after sport and household products. Be particularly careful when it’s very hot or cold (including air conditioning and heating) and above all when it’s very humid. Protect your skin from UV rays with a high SPF broad-spectrum anti-UVA and UVB sun cream.
