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.
