Minor Burns
L'ATHENE offers a complete natural skincare regimen... to support newly healed burned skin to help calm and soothe your skin.
Newly healed burn skin is fragile and prone to three big issues: dryness, sun sensitivity and irritation. Good skincare daily is a high priority so that you help calm, hydrate and not further irritate skin. When your physician says your treated skin is ready for skincare, here are helpful guidelines.
Hydrate, Calm and Nutrify the Skin
"VITAPURE Serum is amazing. Not only do I see all the great changes it has made on my face, I used it last week to help a burn on my daughter's neck from a curling iron. It looked great in 2 days. Amazing!"Â Jill D. Muncie, IN.
Newly healed burn skin can become very dry! Dryness contributes to a weakening of skin which can cause more irritation and potential susceptibility to infections. Moisturizing is critical for new healed burn sufferers. Also, to maximally nourish and restore skin health, antioxidants have been proven to be effective. "Antioxidants have been shown to enhance healing of wounds by reducing free radical damage," according to a study done on laser resurfaced skin using topical antioxidants (Dermatologic Surgery Journal, June 1998, DH McDaniel).
Apply VITAPURE Ultra Antioxidant Nutrient Serum to challenged areas 3 times a day. Put VITAPURE Serum on after cleansing. Then, gently massage in a drop or two of EXTRACT Dry Skin Hydrating Plant Oil 3-5 times a day as needed.
Once oil is absorbed, to maximally hydrate and nourish the skin, apply 2-3 times daily RESTORE or ULTRA Moisturizers to the affected facial areas and NEROLI Body Silkening Nutrient Crème to the affected body areas.
TIP: Avoid powders and perfumes as they may cause more dryness and can irritate.
Avoid Further Dryness and Itchiness
Newly burned skin can be itchy as well as dry. For facial cleansing, almost all cleansers and soaps are made with harsh detergents - even medical brands - which can strip the skin of its natural oils making it more prone to dryness, itching and flaking.
For gentle, non-irritating facial cleansing, use PRIMESSE Essential Facial Cleanser, a mild non-detergent facial cleanser that will not strip the skin and keeps skin balanced and healthier. Avoid ingredients like Sodium Lauryl Sulfates or other Sulfates in facial cleansers and shampoos.
