Beat beard rash, chapped lips and chicken skin with these soothing essentials Make your skin feel less like parchment paper with Triona's top choice of moisturising lotions. Image: Getty It’s the summer of love, so this week, I’m talking about how to deal with ‘pash rash’, aka beard burn, and all things dry skin really after a summer of fun. Not to mention the dreaded burning thighs from chafing — ouch! I have been enjoying the (occasional) sun and gorgeous dips in the sea in Schull, which has made my skin as dry as parchment paper.
I find that Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm , €10.49, boots.ie, greatly helps, as it creates a protective barrier that enables oxygen and water vapour to circulate to and from the skin, allowing it to breathe and strengthen its natural barrier function.
As this balm is formulated with only seven ingredients, it’s gentle enough to be used on highly sensitive skin as well as on babies. Join the Irish Independent WhatsApp channel Stay up to date with all the latest news.
