Helpful Bathing Instructions



Shower or bathe in lukewarm or comfortable water.

Decrease the use of soap, limiting it to under the arms, hairy areas of the chest, under the breasts, genital/rectal area and feet between the toes. A soap of your choice may be used in those areas.

If there is a tendency towards dryness over the face, use a lipid-free skin cleanser such as Cetaphil, Moisturelle or Aquanil.

Within three to five minutes after showering or bathing, dry and apply a moisturizer of your choice. Eucerin lotion has proved to be a very good moisturizer. The lotion is more easily applied than the cream. These products are available over the counter at Costco, Wal-Mart, and Walgreens.
