This Doublebase Wash Gel is a treatment that is intended to be used instead of other soaps when washing the hands. The advantage of this gel over other cleaners is the fact that this does not cause skin irritation. This is useful for anyone who is suffering from skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. The active ingredients in this gel are liquid paraffin and isopropyl myristate, which work by moisturising the skin and helping to prevent moisture loss and causing dry skin.

What is the cause of dry skin?

Dry skin is caused when the skin’s protective barrier becomes damaged, allowing moisture to escape. This can be caused by several reasons. These triggers for dry skin can be external or internal. Internal factors that can cause dry skin include:

Certain types of medication

Ageing

Some of these factors cannot be controlled, only using the right treatment can reduce the effects of dry skin.
