Dignité: Skin Care Products for Plus Size Skin
BariPeutic Health™, Inc., a company focused on providing dignity for people of size through innovative products designed to improve their quality of life, announced this summer the introduction of a line of skin care products that address the unique skin conditions of the plus size body. Recognizing that skin conditions associated with the plus size and bariatric patient are often overlooked and require special preventative care in order to maintain healthy skin, the company has unveiled the three-step Dignité™ skin care line formulated to cleanse, moisturize, and protect this delicate organ. Dignité’s three steps to healthier skin include:
1. Proper hygiene, which is often a problem for people of size. BariPeutic Health’s new Dignité™ Cleanse is a pH-balanced foaming cleanser that gently cleans hair and skin without requiring rinsing, and is specifically designed to clean skin folds.
2. Nourishment of the skin, including moisturizing and conditioning, which can be an essential element in the prevention of serious skin ailments that can occur, like xerosis. Dignité™Moisturize is formulated to smooth, nourish and soften the skin, especially the hands, feet and legs where moisturization is crucial.
3. The prevention and treatment of chafing and other serious skin irritations, like intertrigo, which can occur in delicate skin areas like under the breasts and inner thighs. Dignité™Protect is a skin protectant that provides relief from chafing and skin irritation which can occur from skin-on-skin friction.
“Prevention is critical to avoiding serious skin complications in the obese, such as fungal and bacterial infections, intertrigo, and pressure ulcers,” said Dr. Robert S. Kirsner at the University of Miami’s Department of Dermatology & Cutaneous Surgery. “These three Dignité products can be viewed as part of the basis for prevention.”
