Reviews
Dry skin support programme worked for me, letting me understand my skins needs and also how to support it. This programme really gave me the support that I needed. Fantastic!
Dry skin has been a problem with me since my early teens and I have suffered with it ever since. Visits to doctors only seemed to increase the problem and over time, greatly affected my confidence and self esteem. This support programme has not only really helped me emotionally but also helped me through the practical tips and help. Look at what you eat, how your clothes are washed and what kind of emollients you use. All in all, a fantastic support programme and long may it continue. Thank you so much !!!
Good program lots of useful information.
Great programme covering all the various sub sections you could want regarding dry skin. Easy to follow. Clear and accurate. Quality and informative information.
Very helpful for people living with all dry skin conditions and easy to use. I found that I could browse and find out what was going on with my skin when it suddenly changed from its normal state and gain the knowledge I needed to get it back.
I found the dry skin programme very helpful in giving advice about dry skin problems and recommending the type of products to use.
i have developed a dry skin problem + found mydryskin support programme very helpful.
The dry skin programme gives clear advice in weekly emails that are informative, useful personal experiences. The information shared gave facts, advice in a non patronising manner. It helped me identify how I can maintain good skin integrity and understand why it needs to be a daily part of your life as much as brushing your teeth twice a day.
It's a really useful programme with lots of good information on what to use and how to use it properly, what may trigger your dry skin and what you need to do in order to get it under control. great hints and tips. It gives you more control over your dry skin rather than having to see a health care professional on a regular basis. It gave me more understanding on what types of dry skin conditions there are and the best ways of managing them. I'm hoping that with following the advice given during the programme my dry scaly skin will be reduced and become much more manageable.
I found this very useful in helping me understand what creams and lotions to use and how to understand what triggers outbreaks.
It's useful to be aware of the different ways dry skin can be treated.
Fantastic idea, so informative and inclusive. Realised that so many people suffer from dry skin conditions that affect their day to day life. These sort of programmes really help and especially so for people who do not like going to health professionals or who are shy are even embarrassed about their conditions. My step niece suffered from the age of three with severe dry skin and she could not help but scratch herself. It was painful to see and if there had been this type of help and support she may have got better quicker.
Felt supported and part of a community. Section on use of emollients extremely informative/helpful.
A very supportive educational course.
Very relevant as I use support stockings my skin gets very dry. I have tried various creams and ointments specially for dry skin but nothing seemed to help. I tried a skin oil from superdrug which helped at first then I tried the sample of e45 cream which really seemed to make a difference to my dry skin.
