Advice on how to treat dry skin by applying the right cream, in the right way 🩺 By Consultant Dermatologist Dr Birnie 🙏

➡️ 📹 How to correctly apply Altruist 10% Urea Dry Skin Repair Cream for easier application, better absorption and to get the optimum moisturisation for softer, healthier skin - all year 🤍

Why Urea is great for skin health 👇

As we get older, the Urea concentration in our skin can drop by 50%, so our skin needs a little help to retain moisture 💧 So the right Urea skincare and concentrate, can help ✅

💦 Urea is a natural moisturising factor (NMF) found in the body
💪 Urea can act as a humectant and is also a keratolytic (exfoliant)
🙏 It’s helpful to treat many chronic skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and even skin issues like calluses or ulcers.

A humbling insight from DASIL South Africa 🌍 Please listen 🙏

As a British Consultant Dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon, Altruist Founder Dr Andrew Birnie was moved by the challenges faced by some of his South African peers who work under some extremely challenging circumstances 🩺 often with limited power supplies - the very basic need to operate a clinic 🌍

This is why it is so important that conferences like bring together the best dermatology experts from across the world, to not only share their knowledge, but their experiences 🙏

⬇️

Having a constant, reliable electric and energy source is a privilege we do not take for granted.

Neither is access to affordable, basic skin health needs, like sunscreen, to prevent the incidence of skin cancer🥼

📍If you are privileged enough to be able to afford and have access to world-class sun protection , please use it ☀️

Please wear sunscreen and please listen to skin cancer experts to protect your skin - not those unqualified to protect you 🤍

Did you know that approx. 90% of UV rays can pass through clouds to damage skin?

⚠️ From March - October (UK) UV can be strong enough to cause skin damage and even burn

🙏 Please don’t rely on clouds to protect your skin - particularly if you are planning an Autumn break in a high UV climate ☀️

☀️🌤️🌥️ Always check your local UV Index, higher than 3, pale or vulnerable skins should be wearing high SPF30+ & high UVA protection 🧴

👀 Check your sunscreen for its UVA rating/ symbol - at Altruist we use the PPD UVA rating which you can find in our packaging

UVA rays are the secret ager, protecting against UVA damage prevents premature aging (ask us if you can’t find it)
