Question

Can I use Emolene cream as my daily moisturizer? I've got super sensitive skin, and even natural products seem to irritate it. Also, is it okay to put sunscreen on top of the Emolene cream? Would love some advice on this.

  1. Suitability of Emolene Cream for Sensitive Skin:

    • Emolene contains propylene glycol and diazolidinyl urea, which may irritate sensitive skin.
    • Patch test on a small area before regular use to check for reactions.
  2. Sunscreen Application:

    • Use a mineral-based sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) over Emolene.
    • Ensure the sunscreen is fragrance-free and suitable for sensitive skin.
  3. General Advice:

    • Discontinue use if irritation occurs and consult a dermatologist.
    • A dermatologist can recommend products tailored to your skin type.
