Emollients are moisturisers that help soothe, hydrate and protect the skin by forming an occlusive barrier to lock in moisture. They are commonly used to treat dry, rough and scaly skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis, and work by softening and smoothing the skin, reducing water loss and improving the skin's natural barrier function. As a result, they play a vital role in skin care, especially for those with dry or compromised skin, and come in various forms, each suited to different levels of dryness and skin conditions. Regular use of the right emollient can help maintain the skin's moisture balance, provide relief from irritation and support overall skin health. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at the different types of emollients available, which ones to choose for your patient, and how they should be used for the best results.
