Dr.Hauschka Med PRESS INFORMATION Not to be published before: 2 November 2009 Relief for itchy and flaky skin – The new Dr.Hauschka Med ice plant preparations are specially designed to care for very dry and neurodermitic skin Bad Boll/Eckwälden, 16.02.2016/ib – For many people, the cold winter months cause areas of skin to go red and dry and to itch terribly. However, some people suffer from raw, flaky skin and severe itchiness all year round. This is where the new skin care series from Dr.Hauschka Med Skin comes in – with two products specially designed for people with very dry, itchy and flaky skin: Dr.Hauschka Med Ice Plant Body Care Lotion for everyday body care and Dr.Hauschka Med Ice Plant Intensive Cream for treating areas of particularly dry skin. These products are on sale as of November. The central component of both unscented care products is the 100% pure, freshly pressed juice of the moisture-rich and robust ice plant, which soothes and cares for the skin while relieving itchiness and redness. A combination of various high-quality natural oils – for example from jojoba fruit, sesame seeds or almonds – forms a creamy foundation which is absorbed readily by the skin while providing additional protection for the outer layer (epidermis) without leaving behind a greasy film. Both new Dr.Hauschka Med ice plant care products were developed together with experienced dermatologists, are free of chemical dyes and preservatives and are also very suitable for children.

At the same time, it reduces the feeling of tightness, helps to prevent itching and leaves the skin feeling soft and smooth. Dr.Hauschka Med Ice Plant Intensive Cream was developed specially for treating problem areas of skin, for example on the face, the crook of the arm or the hollow of the knee. This product helps particularly dry areas of the skin prone to flaking, itching and irritation to return to a natural oil and moisture balance while eliminating itching. Dr.Hauschka Med Ice Plant Intensive Cream reduces the sensation of tightness and fortifies the natural barrier function of the skin. It is applied to the affected areas one or more times a day as needed.
