MOISTUREX BODY LOTION

Paraffin Lotion's mechanism of action involves its key ingredient, paraffin, which is a mixture of hydrocarbon molecules. When applied to the skin, the paraffin in the lotion works by forming a protective layer on the skin's surface. This occlusive layer helps to prevent water loss from the epidermis, effectively sealing in moisture. The paraffin creates a hydrating environment that softens and smoothes the skin, making it particularly beneficial for dry, rough, or scaly skin conditions. It acts as a humectant, drawing moisture from the atmosphere and trapping it within the skin, thereby improving skin hydration and promoting a more supple and moisturized texture.

The following are the uses of Paraffin Lotion:

• Used for moisturizing and hydrating dry skin, especially in harsh winter conditions.
• Used for easing skin tightness and reducing itching caused by dryness.
• Used for softening rough skin areas like elbows, knees, and feet.
• Used for providing a protective barrier on the skin to lock in moisture.
• Used for soothing and calming irritated skin, including minor cuts and abrasions.
• Used for aiding in the treatment of skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
• Used for enhancing massage experiences by improving glide and reducing friction.

In the case of an overdose of Paraffin Lotion, it is crucial to act promptly. Ingestion of large quantities can lead to gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If applied excessively on the skin, it may cause irritation and discomfort. Promptly seek medical advice and provide information on the quantity involved. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and ensuring the individual's well-being.

In the case of a missed dose of Paraffin Lotion, it is generally advised to apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next scheduled application, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular routine. Do not apply extra lotion to make up for the missed dose, as this may lead to excessive skin softening or irritation. If you frequently forget doses, consider setting reminders or keeping the lotion in a visible location to help you maintain a consistent application schedule.

To use Paraffin Lotion, apply a generous amount to the affected area, gently massage it into the skin until it is fully absorbed, and follow the recommended application frequency as advised by your healthcare professional.
