Skin protection, cleansing and care: for skin regeneration and infection prevention

In the field of podiatry and foot health, it all comes down to the three Hs: skin protection, skin cleansing and skin care. By using care and protection products, you not only promote skin regeneration but also strengthen the skin’s natural barrier function against pathogens. Thanks to their skin-friendly disinfecting effect, you also prevent infections caused by pathogens and germs. Particularly for our own RUCK brand for skin hygiene, we provide products from brand manufacturers such as Schülke, Bode, ECOLAB and Saraya.

Why skin care and protection are so important

The importance of skin care lies in the protective function of our skin. With its natural, thin lipid and acid protective barrier, it prevents the penetration of pathogens, protects against dehydration and wards off external weather conditions. It also regulates our body temperature and produces important vitamins. If the skin is subjected to stress or disease, then this also weakens the natural protective barrier.

In everyday practice, regular hand washing and disinfection inevitably lead to skin stress. High-quality care and cleansing products therefore play a crucial role in overall hygiene.

What products are available to maintain skin care, protect it and cleanse it?

Our RUCK skin care products combine two important functions: regenerating stressed skin and preventing infections. To this end, they perform disinfecting functions whilst also offering nourishing, moisturising and regenerative properties.

Depending on the area of application and requirements, a distinction can be made between the different types of care, protection and cleaning products:

• Spray: Thanks to the bond of disinfection, reliable immediate action and a skin-friendly, moisturising effect, sprays are particularly suitable for hand disinfection on sensitive and irritated skin.
• Soap/foam soap: Their function is to provide skin-nourishing cleansing and to limit microbial contaminants and pathogens.
• Creams: For severely stressed skin, creams support regeneration by forming a lipid barrier on the skin. Wash-off hydrophilic creams in particular promote regeneration and prevent drying out thanks to their moisturising and lipid-replenishing effects.

• Balm: Similar to a cream, yet even finer and more gentle, skin balm protects and strengthens the skin’s natural protective barrier and promotes the regeneration of stressed or sensitive skin.
• Lotions: Skin cleansing lotions provide thorough yet gentle cleansing. To this end, they have a skin-friendly pH value and contain important ingredients. In addition, lotions have a moisturising effect and prevent the skin from drying out or becoming irritated, even with regular use. Due to their high water content, they are absorbed especially quickly, leave no greasy film and are therefore suitable for large-area skin care.

What to look out for in skin protection, cleansing and care

Products for reliable skin hygiene should, particularly in the medical sector, meet important criteria to strengthen the skin’s natural protective function. These include:

• Moisturising and emollient effect
• Skin-friendly pH value
• Free from scents and colourants
