ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic applique for treatment of dry hands, either as a patch, face mask, or glove. The applique has the form of a porous, flexible sheet that is applied to the skin, and the sheet has a water-activatable material carried on its surface and also permeating its pores. The water-activated material, when in a dry, inactive state, preferably has a moisture content of less than 10% by weight, of the sheet, and is soluble in water. The arrangement is such that when the applique is applied to the skin, along with water, the applique's water-soluble component partially disassociates from it and leaches onto the skin, either while the sheet is in place on the skin or prior to the sheet being placed on the skin. In addition, with time the outermost layer of the water-soluble component undergoes evaporation, causing it to partially re-solidify, thereby forming an occlusive outer barrier which tends to retain the remaining water-soluble components between itself and the skin. There results improved, all natural skin moisturization, without preservatives and without undesirable greasy or oily residue being left on the skin.
