Abstract
The invention provides methods of dermatological basic treatment including the steps of pre-treating the skin with a composition that comprises a mild anti-microbial agent, a buffer that adjusts the skin pH to slightly acidic and an agent that forms a protective layer on the skin. This basic treatment has the effect of extraordinarily mild cleansing and sanitizing, restoring lipids, and providing a protective coating to the skin. Basic treatment may be followed by appropriate dermatological therapy. The invention further provides suitable compositions to be used in the dermatological basic treatment.
Claims18
A method of a dermatological basic treatment comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing an extraordinarily mild and hypoallergenic skin cleansing composition comprising an anti-microbial agent, a buffer which adjusts skin pH to a range of approximately 4.0-6.0, an agent which forms a protective lipo-regenerating layer on the skin, and an anti-itching agent;
- (b) applying the composition to the wet skin as a washing emulsion, whereby the composition cleanses and sanitizes the skin;
- (c) rinsing the skin with water, whereby the composition forms a protective lipo-regenerating film on the skin, whereby the lipo-regenerating film has anti-itching properties;
- and optionally
- (d) subjecting the skin to a specific dermatological treatment.
A composition comprising:
- (a) disodium undecylenamido MEA-sulfosuccinate as a mild anti-microbial agent;
- (b) a lipo-regenerating system consisting of one, two or more lipoid type components and one or more polyquat type components;
- (c) a buffer between pH 4 and 7;
- and
- (d) a mild surfactant or surfactant mixture.
