Alps Silicone Skin Lotion is a hypoallergenic skin lotion for amputees. As we all know wearing a prosthesis can lead to painful dry skin because your skin has difficulty producing enough lubrication through its oil glands. The dry skin on your residual limb has a low level of sebum and can be prone to skin sensitivity and has a parched look caused by its inability to retain moisture. The skin over the end of your residuum usually feels "tight" and uncomfortable after washing unless some type of skin lotion is applied.
The primary ingredients in this alps lotion is silicone. Silicone creates a film on the surface of your skin that helps retain moisturize, thereby keeping your skin hydrated. Applying Alps prosthetic lotion daily, helps your skin better manage the aftereffects of excessive sweating. This primary ingredient doesn't interfere with your skin's natural sweating function while working hard to retain moisture and prevent dryness.
Chapping and cracking are signs of extremely dry, dehydrated skin and small amounts of Alps Silicone Silicone Skin Lotion should be applied. Dryness is exacerbated by extremes of temperature and excessive perspiration, all of which cause the skin to flake, chap and feel tight. This type of skin is tightly drawn over bones and looks dull. Many Amputees have expressed positive results when cleansing their residual limb(s) with a hypoallergenic prosthetic cleanser and then applying Alps Silicone Skin Lotion.
Safe for use with the following amputee supplies:
Squeeze a few drops of Alps Silicone Skin Lotion on your skin or into the palm of your hand. Spread in a thin film. A small amount is all you really need. Massage into your skin until dry to hydrate depleted skin. Apply as often as needed and after cleansing your residual limb.
