Lanacane

Lanacane is a medicated, anaesthetic cooling cream that provides fast-acting relief from itching and irritation on the skin. It works underneath the skin to anaesthetise the sensory nerves to stop itching and eliminate the urge to scratch. The soothing formula is easy to apply and provides a protective barrier over the affected area to prevent further irritation.

Lanacane Anti-Chafing Gel is suitable for all causes of skin chafing, including running. The gel works by forming a protective barrier on your skin to prevent pain caused by friction and rubbing. Its gentle formula dries to a silky, clear finish without the need for messy powders or greasy creams.

When your skin is dry you may experience scaly or flaky skin or skin that has fine lines or cracks.

 

If you touch your skin, it may feel rough and sensitive or even a little painful.

 

There are many factors that can cause dry skin from the weather to spending too long in the shower Whenever we leave the house, our skin is exposed to the elements, from UV rays to freezing temperatures.

 

Our skin is at particular risk during the winter months, as temperatures plummet and humidity is reduced, which dries out our skin.

 

Again, in winter, we are more likely to turn up the thermostat or light the fire, which may feel lovely after a day out in the cold, but sources of heat in our homes reduce the moisture in the air, which can cause our skin to lose hydration.

 

Taking hot showers and baths with harsh soaps or detergents, can damage our skin through dehydration and stripping the skin of its natural oils.

 

Spending lots of time in chlorinated water, such as swimming pools and hot tubs can also strip our skin, leaving it dry.
