Mosquitoes, sandflies and garden plants can leave skin feeling itchy and looking bothered. A few simple steps help it feel comfortable.
Why this skin can feel uncomfortable
Scratching makes itchy skin look redder. Hives that come with swelling of the lips or face or any difficulty breathing need emergency help right away.
A simple daily routine
- Wash with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free cleanser. Hot water and harsh soaps can leave skin feeling tight.
- Pat dry with a soft towel instead of rubbing.
- Apply a cool compress for a few minutes before the gel.
- While skin is still slightly damp, smooth on a thin layer of SKLEER gel over the areas that feel dry, rough or uncomfortable.
- Follow with a plain moisturiser if your skin still feels thirsty, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed skin during the day.
- Repeat morning and evening, and give any new routine a few weeks before judging how your skin looks and feels.
Everyday tips
- Use insect repellent and cover up at dusk.
- Try not to scratch.
- Note any foods or plants that seem to bother your skin.
A quick note: SKLEER is a cosmetic product. Patch-test on a small area first, and avoid broken skin and the eye area. If your skin is sore, changing or worrying you, see a doctor or pharmacist; this guide is about everyday skincare, not diagnosis.
