I created a one-page barrier repair handout that explains TEWL in plain language and walks clients through a simple night routine: pH-balanced cleanse, 5-minute chamomile hydrosol compress, and a rice-sized amount of occlusive balm. If anyone wants the editable PDF/Doc, I’m happy to share — it’s helped three new clients stick to homecare over the past two weeks.
‘5-minute’ compress is clutch; apply balm on damp skin — swap to green tea if chamomile irritates.
I keep it 1 page too; ‘rice-sized’ plus a 5‑minute timer sticker helps — petroleum jelly if balm’s pricey.
