Yes! Dry wrapping is a simple, effective technique to help lock in moisture, reduce itching, and protect sensitive skin from further irritation.

It’s a gentler alternative to wet wrapping and is often used for mild to moderate eczema or daily skin maintenance.

See our guide to dry wrapping here for step by step instructions.

Wet wrapping is a dermatologist-recommended technique to soothe eczema-prone skin, reduce itching, and help with moisture absorption.

SkinAkin suits are perfect for wet-wrapping, however this should only be carried out under medical supervision.

✅ Always consult a doctor or dermatologist before using wet wraps
✅ Use soft, breathable fabrics like Skinakin's organic cotton to prevent further irritation.

See NHS guide on wet-wrapping here for more guidance.
