How do emollients such as Hydromol Ointment help treat dry skin?
Emollients are substances that are used to soften and moisturize the skin. They work by forming a protective barrier on the skin's surface, which helps to retain moisture and prevent the loss of natural oils. This can help to reduce irritation and inflammation, and promote healing of the skin. Emollients are often used to treat conditions such as eczema and other forms of dermatitis, which are characterized by dry, itchy, and scaly skin. By providing a source of moisture and reducing water loss from the skin, emollients can help to relieve these symptoms and improve the overall health and appearance of the skin. In addition to their moisturizing effects, emollients can also have a calming effect on the skin, which can help to reduce redness and irritation.
