| | deposits are too drying on the skin. And never, ever use hot water. Use mineral water to freshen your face. Don't use a washcloth-a rough texture can irritate. In the morning, apply a spray of mineral water on your skin misted on with a plant sprayer. (Do not use a sprayer that had been used for spraying insecticides.) Lightly pat dry your stump.
Dry skin needs plenty of thorough but gentle cleansing, regular stimulation with massage and generous quantities of Alps Prosthetic Moisturizer. Washing dry skin with soap and water not only removes grime but also the natural oils protecting the skin. Alps Prosthetic Moisturizer increases the water content of the outer layers of the skin and gives it a soft, moist look.
Use nondetergent, neutral-pH products to cleanse your skin such as Alps Prosthetic Cleanser. Avoid using any commercial soap. And always touch the skin on your stump gently. Double-cleanse with a cream, leaving a light, thin trace of it on the skin after the second cleansing with Alps Prosthetic Cleanser.
Follow a bath or a shower with a mild application of baby oil. Massage your face with nourishing Alps Prosthetic Skin Lotion every night before retiring. Be generous with the skin lotion in the areas surrounding the back of your stump and where a roll on liner ends on your thigh.
