What are the Best Practices for Using Barrier Creams?
To maximize the efficacy of barrier creams, the following best practices are recommended:
Identify the type of exposure and select a cream specifically designed to counteract those risks. Apply the cream evenly over clean, dry skin before exposure to the hazardous environment. Reapply the cream at regular intervals, especially after washing hands or sweating. Conduct a patch test to check for any allergic reactions before regular use. Complement the use of barrier creams with other protective measures such as gloves and protective clothing.
