Traditional soap and some cleansers require water to rinse but PROSHIELD ◊ Foam and Spray Skin Cleanser requires no rinsing (Flynn and Williams, 2011; Ling, 2011; Wall and Vernon, 2016) or the use of a separate moisturiser when used with PROSHIELD ◊ PLUS Skin Protectant and therefore has the potential to reduce the number of steps needed in the skin care regimen of a person with incontinence.
