Embrace: Three Steps to Great Skin Care

Delicate skin needs special care. Exposure to incontinence and moisture can lead to a number of skin-related complications that range from irritation to increased risk of skin breakdown. The good news is that many of these complications can be prevented through proper skin care. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), there are three key components to keeping the perineal skin of your incontinent residents healthy: cleansing, moisturizing and protecting.1

Professional Medical's exclusive Embrace skin care products are designed to assist you with each of these three steps. They're formulated with best-in-class ingredients and work together as a system to cleanse, moisturize and protect.


Step 1: Cleanse
The Embrace family includes three convenient options for skin cleansing.

No-rinse Embrace Moisturizing Cleanser & Skin Protectant with Breathable Barrier freshens skin, helps prevent perineal rash and leaves behind a protective dimethicone layer.

Embrace Perineal Foam Cleanser is a gentle, no-rinse alternative to soap and water that is enriched with aloe and vitamin E and promotes a skin-healthy pH level.

Embrace Sensitive Skin Caring Washcloths with Breathable Barrier are formulated with a gel-based blend of natural ingredients, including aloe, vitamin E, chamomile and sweet almond oil. Breathable dimethicone helps seal out wetness. The washcloths can be used with our other cleansers as an easy, convenient system for delivering great skin care.


Step 2: Moisturize
Embrace Skin Repair Cream is a whole-body moisturizer designed for daily use. It protects and helps relieve dry, chapped or cracked skin. Dimethicone forms an invisible protective barrier.


Step 3: Protect
Embrace Skin Protectant with Breathable Barrier features organic aloe vera, chamomile and dimethicone to moisturize, freshen and soothe delicate skin.
