QV products are designed to suit different stages of dry skin, so you can pick the perfect one for you.
We recommend using QV Skin Lotion for dry skin, QV Skin for drier skin, and QV Intensive Ointment for very dry or sensitive skin.
Eczema can break out anywhere on the body but it's most common in the following areas:
- Knees
- Elbows
- Neck
- Hands
- Cheeks
- Scalp
Eczema is common in children, although they often grow out of it as they grow older.
This is why many parents look for eczema treatments that are suitable for their child’s delicate skin.
Brands like QV, Aveeno, Child’s Farm, and Oilatum have skincare ranges that are suitable for children and babies with sensitive skin, including moisturisers, emollients, bath additives, soaps, and body washes.
Having dry skin does not necessarily mean that you have eczema.
If dry skin appears in the same place regularly then you could have eczema.
Symptoms of eczema include:
- Dry skin
- Itching
- Soreness
- Redness
- Cracked skin
- Inflammation
Psoriasis is also a skin condition that will appear in similar places on a regular basis.
There is a number of symptoms that will potentially show when suffering from psoriasis. These include:
- Redness on the skin
- White or silvery scales on red patches of skin
- Soreness around patches of skin
- Itchiness
- Burning
- Thick nails
- Painful and/or swollen joints
Some emollients can be used as cleansers, either for their hands or as body washes in the bath or shower.
This helps them to avoid using soaps, which can aggravate some dry skin conditions such as eczema or dermatitis.
There are also some emollients that can be used in your bath water in place of bubble baths, bath salts, or other products so you can protect your sensitive skin there too.
However, if you do choose to use an emollient in the bath or shower, bear in mind that it can make your bath or shower slippery.
You should take extra care not to slip after using an emollient bathing product and should clean your bath or shower properly afterwards to help to prevent yourself or others from falling.
