Emollients and how to apply them

Emollient is a medical term for a cream, ointment, lotion or oil that moisturises the skin. People with eczema are especially liable to lose moisture from their skin. One of the most important elements in managing eczema is to keep the skin soft and supple by frequent and generous use of emollients.
