Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 I hope that I am not posting too many questions today and making amyone upset. But I was just reading dr. nase's advise about moisturizers. He says not to use an oil-based occulsive cream. he specifically targets mineral oil yet he seems to like oils like jojoba and emu. are these 2 oils non-occlusive. What about dimethicone and clymethicone? I know that that they are not oils but silicones but wouldn't they be occlusive. So I am not sure if he is saying that the mineral oil is the bad or anything that is occlusive. But how can the skins barrier function be restored by using a light moisturizer that does not seal in the skin's water and block out the irritants. Confused here. can anyone explain Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
