Apply plenty of emollient cream in downward strokes with clean hands, ideally up to four times a day. An average of 250-500g per week is recommended
Apply extra emollient cream in extreme weather
Never use ordinary soap, moisturising soap or bubble bath
Cotton mittens can be worn to reduce the impact of scratching.
