Ever since I became a parent, my skincare routine has become pretty basic. I shave my legs about once a month and make sure to moisturize my shins regularly, as they tend to dry out like old parchment. During pregnancy, I was dedicated to taking care of myself; I religiously applied oil, exfoliated, and painted my toenails when I could still see them. However, since my second child was born a little over two years ago, I’ve only managed to use oil four times, exfoliated not at all, and painted my toenails just once—and even then, it wasn’t me who did it. I felt a twinge of embarrassment when the pedicurist dealt with my rough feet, probably feeling like she was handling a horse.
Currently, my body care routine is all about necessity. I usually moisturize my skin at the same time I put creams on my kids after their baths. My daughter, Angelica, used to have eczema and still experiences dry and itchy skin on her legs. Meanwhile, my son, Ted, also shows signs of having sensitive skin, so I make sure to apply cream on both of them after their baths. By the way, I only bathe them twice a week now, as per the dermatologist’s advice, which has greatly helped Angelica’s skin. Personally, the nightly bath routine I tried following only worsened their skin issues.
In my search for effective creams for dry and itchy skin, I’ve been trying out Diprobase’s new Itch Relief Cream and Daily Moisturising Cream. These products are already popular for treating dry and eczema-prone skin. The Itch Relief Cream works quickly to tackle irritation, and the Daily Moisturising Cream offers a surprisingly light feel with long-lasting hydration. These creams absorb easily without leaving any greasiness, making them perfect for both my dry shins and the kids’ skin. The kids love to get involved with applying their cream, which usually results in a bit of a mess, but it’s a part of the fun.
As someone who’s always battled with dry, flaky shins, especially when wearing tights or long socks, I find the Diprobase Itch Relief Cream a great solution. It alleviates itching caused by dry skin and eczema in just 30 minutes. The formula is steroid-free and safe for babies, which is a relief for any parent with children prone to eczema. It feels light and fresh on the skin, leaving it soft without any greasy trace.
The Diprobase Daily Moisturising Cream, enriched with prebiotics, is fantastic for reinforcing the skin barrier. It’s also suitable for babies and proven to keep skin moisturized for up to 24 hours, even helping to prevent severe dryness flares for up to three months. It’s light and non-greasy, allowing everyone to get dressed right away and go about their day.
You can buy these Diprobase products at pharmacies and major retailers across the country, with the Itch Relief Cream priced at £6.99 for 20ml and £12.99 for 50ml, while the Daily Moisturising Cream is £10 for 150ml.
