For dry, damaged skin

Dry skin has lost oils and moisture that keep skin's natural barrier function intact. Once the barrier function of skin is compromised, it has a difficult time retaining natural oils and moisture which starts a cycle of drying that will likely continue until these lost oils and moisture are replaced. Without replacing lost oils and moisture in damaged skin, it could dry to the point of cracking which would allow irritants further into the skin and potentially into the bloodstream. Damaged skin is more likely to react with irritants than well-conditioned skin. This could lead to irritant contact dermatitis.

Dermatitis is the leading-cause of work-related illness[1] and is one of the most costly and rapidly expanding conditions in the U.S. Direct medical expenses are more than $1.4 billion with another $500 million in productivity losses.[2] This could have a large, hidden financial burden on both employers and employees.

As a part of an effective regimen, employees should condition their skin often. To facilitate this, place GOJO® HAND MEDIC® Professional Skin Conditioner in convenient locations (plant entrances, high traffic pathways, near workstations, outside restrooms and in break areas) for convenient use. This will help condition and moisturize skin. Well-conditioned skin will feel better and is less likely to crack or react with outside irritants.

Ensure employees use the mildest, effective skin cleanser convenient for use in each part of the plant. For help determining the correct cleanser for each application, click here.
