Skin Care in the Professional Healthcare and Nursing Sector

Skin care is a central component of holistic care and hygiene concepts in medical facilities, nursing homes, outpatient services, and the home environment. It plays an important role in personal hygiene, as it supports the maintenance of the natural skin barrier and helps prevent irritation or pressure injuries. A structured skincare routine is particularly important for sensitive, stressed, or mature skin.

In everyday nursing care, skincare is used both preventively and as a supportive measure. After cleansing, it helps stabilize the skin’s moisture balance and keep the skin supple. In long-term care, skincare helps maintain skin integrity, for example in immobile or incontinent individuals. In clinical settings as well, a tailored skincare regimen helps counteract skin stress caused by frequent disinfection or washing.

Depending on skin type and application, various textures are available, such as lotions, creams, cleansing solutions, or care gloves. The selection should be based on individual needs as well as existing care protocols.
