A little oil (a couple of drops) is applied to a cotton pad or sponge, after which the epidermis is gently rubbed with an oiled swab. Particular attention must be paid to folds.
- Oil is great for massage. There is no paraffin in the composition of the drug, therefore, a film is not created on the skin that prevents the removal of decay products from the skin. The rest of the product after massage is blotted with a napkin.
- To moisturize the epidermis after bathing. If, after washing or water procedures, delicate skin becomes prone to cracking or roughness, it should be lubricated with oil. The moist dermis must be dried, after which a thin layer of the drug should be applied and allowed to soak. Oil can be applied to any area of the body (except for the mucous membranes and face). This tool can be used to moisturize the body of adults.
- To remove seborrheic milk crusts. Before bathing (per hour), the baby's head is lubricated with oil. Then softened crusts are combed with a soft brush from the epidermis. The remnants of the drug are washed off with shampoo. If necessary, the baby’s hair is washed several times. After they dry, the remnants of the scales are removed with a brush and gently massage the scalp.
- To prevent inflammatory processes with diaper rash and diaper dermatitis. After water procedures, the inflamed areas are dried and after 10 minutes Bubchen oil is applied. The drug restores the skin, relieves inflammation and creates a barrier between secretions and the epidermis.
