3. Anatomy Of Skin
• The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20
square feet.
• The skin protects us from microbes and the elements, helps regulate body
temperature, and permits the sensations of touch, heat, and cold.
4. Anatomy Of Skin
Skin has three layers:
• The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a waterproof barrier and creates
our skin tone.
• The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles,
and sweat glands.
• The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.
• The skin’s color is created by special cells called melanocytes, which produce the
pigment melanin. Melanocytes are located in the epidermis.
7. Xerosis
Dry skin (xerosis) often has an environmental cause. Certain diseases also
can significantly affect your skin. Potential causes of dry skin include:
• Water Loss.
• Weather.
• Heat.
• Other skin conditions.
• Harsh soaps and detergents.
8. Nipple Fissures
New mothers may experience nursing problems:
a condition of soreness, dryness or irritation to, or
bleeding of, one or both nipples
Emollients ,Antiseptics ,Wound healers are indicated in for
each mother in these cases
9. Seborrheic dermatitis & cradle cap
• In infants, seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp is known as
Cradle Cap. The patches may be thick, yellow, crusty or
greasy.
• In most cases, the condition isn't itchy for infants like it is
for older children or adults.

Most people use the terms “moisturizer” and “emollient” interchangeably, though typically an emollient describes a particular ingredient inside a finished moisturizer.
Emollients are used to soften and smooth the scales of the skin, which help reduce rough, flaky skin. They are also occlusive agents: substances that provide a layer of protection that helps prevent moisture (water) loss from the skin.
A few places where emollients can be found are in silicone (dimethicone, cyclomethicone), vegetable oils (grape seed, sesame seed, jojoba, etc.), butters (cocoa butter, shea butter), alcohols (stearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol), and petrolatum derivatives (petroleum jelly, mineral oil).
A humectant is a substance that actually bonds with water molecules to increase the water content in the skin itself. Glycerin is one of the more typical and effective water binding agents. Other humectants include sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose, honey), proteins, amino acids, elastin, and collagen. Humectants typically draw water to the skin from two different places; they can draw water from a humid environment, and they enhance water absorption from the outer layer of skin.
Many humectant’s also have emollient properties, while not all emollients are humectants. The best moisturizers have a combination of emollients and humectants.
