TENA® PROskin Barrier Cream

Healthy skin is crucial for physical well-being.As we age, the skin becomes more sensitive and prone to injury.Incontinence can further irritate the skin and lead to inflammation, rashes and dermatitis.Therefore, regular hygiene and care tailored to sensitive skin are essential components of incontinence care.

Gentle cream at the first signs of skin irritation

TENA® PROskin Barrier Cream is a transparent, water-repellent cream that is used to prevent and protect skin health.The gentle formula forms a strong barrier against irritants and is particularly suitable for areas of skin that are already showing the first signs of redness and irritation caused by incontinence, especially in the sensitive intimate area.When used regularly, the protective cream can effectively prevent skin damage.

The cream contains natural ingredients such as glycerin, rapeseed oil and vitamin E, which gently nourish and moisturize irritated skin.The composition is dermatologically tested and has proven itself in skin care for many years.Because it does not contain perfume or preservatives, the product is ideal for sensitive skin.

TENA® PROskin Barrier Cream has been awarded the Nordic Swan Ecolabel for compliance with strict consumer protection and environmental standards.

What do I need to care for an incontinent relative?

To ensure that your loved one feels clean and comfortable around the clock, it is helpful to be well prepared and have everything you need for safe incontinence care at hand, both at home and on the go.These include special underwear or pads with protective pants with absorbent strength tailored to the affected person's bladder weakness, mild washing creams for cleaning and skin care that, if possible, do not need to be rinsed off, a water-repellent, moisturizing barrier cream for applying to irritated areas of the skin, soft dry cloths for cleaning with water or moist disposable cloths for on the go, disposable gloves and large plastic bags with a zipper for used incontinence products or soiled clothing.

How can skin irritation caused by incontinence be avoided?

The skin of older people is already very sensitive and no longer as resistant to external influences.In addition, urine can attack the acid mantle of the skin.Bacteria and fungi that are actually harmless can then no longer be fought off and can cause unpleasant skin rashes or infections.Consistent hygiene is therefore extremely important when caring for incontinent relatives.Place value on incontinence products with high absorption capacity that reliably keep the affected person dry.Always make sure to change your protection in a timely manner and carefully cleanse your skin with mild cleansing lotions that do not attack the skin in contrast to using water and conventional soap.To ensure that no moisture remains on the skin, the intimate area should then be thoroughly patted dry.For additional protection of sensitive skin, we recommend using a water-repellent barrier cream with nourishing ingredients.

Can't you also use baby products to treat diaper rash if you have incontinence?

While it is generally true that baby oils and corresponding cleansing lotions are good for sensitive skin, they are suitable for use on infants and small children.It is therefore advisable to use products specifically tailored to their needs when caring for older incontinent people. TENA® has developed the PROskin range specifically for incontinence care for older people. In addition to reliable incontinence protection, which ensures high absorbency and long-term dryness, this also includes wash cloths and creams for cleaning and caring for sensitive skin, as well as a barrier cream to prevent skin irritation.
