Best Creams Ointments for Healthy Skin Care
Although each possessing its own function—deodorant prevents perspiration, toothpaste protects against cavities, Neosporin heals wounds, and Tylenol treats ailments—a common theme is shared: these items are typically on hand in the home. Some see use twice a day while others may serve their purpose just twice a year. Regardless, these familiar toiletry, first aid, and pain relief are medicine cabinet staples, commonly sitting accessible in households. We customarily don’t wait for a cavity to appear before using toothpaste or a headache to surface before having pain relief on hand, instead anticipating their use at some point, if not daily.
Diaper rash preventatives and treatments are no different, justifiably deserving equal importance as other “medicine cabinet staples”. For those suffering from adult incontinence, keeping stocked on basic necessities - incontinence undergarments for personal protection and bed pads to keep your mattress dry - are part of the day-to-day. Your skin will thank you, in both the short and long term, in not overlooking the additional presence of creams and ointments to have at your disposal for daily use, those “just in case” moments, and anything in-between.
