TENA takes<br />

special care<br />

of skin<br />

TENA is a name better known for<br />

continence products but did you know<br />

they are also the skincare specialists.<br />

Continence and skincare are closely<br />

linked, skin breakdown can be caused by<br />

the repeated wetting and drying of the<br />

skin with the affected area being more<br />

susceptible to damage.<br />

Lanna Ramsay, head of Ozcare Aged<br />

Care used the TENA skincare range on<br />

her father “My father has always had very<br />

sensitive skin and is prone to easy bruising.<br />

As he is quite active and he often gives<br />

himself small skin tears, and sometimes<br />

big., I have had him using TENA Wash<br />

Cream and Skin Lotion for about three<br />

years. Over that time, there has been a<br />

significant improvement in his skin and a<br />

decreased number of small skin tears”<br />

Traditional soap and water can also be<br />

very harsh on delicate skin, and conditions<br />

like Incontinence Associated Dermatitis<br />

(IAD) can be painful however the TENA<br />

3-in-1 range does not require soap or water<br />

to cleanse and ensures that the skin is<br />

cleaned, protected and moisturised.<br />

Daily checklist for healthy skin:<br />

✓✓<br />

Prevention is the best treatment, cleanse<br />

the body daily<br />

✓✓<br />

Cleanse the skin well when using the<br />

toilet or after every pad change<br />

✓✓<br />

Moisturise the skin after cleansing to<br />

avoid dehydration and form a protective<br />

barrier<br />

✓✓<br />

Protect the genital area (perineum<br />

specifically) with a barrier cream if area<br />

is exposed to regular faecal or urinary<br />

incontinence<br />
