How long after bathing do you recommend applying moisturizer?

Atopic Dermatitis

You after bathing. For patients with atopic dermatitis, I personally recommend putting moisturizer as soon as they pat themselves dry with cow. And the reason is that way we are trying to trap the moisture, the water content, which went into the skin from bathing. As we know, dryness of the skin is a real problem with atopic dermatitis. So moisturizers are very important. But putting moisturizer on right after bathing. So the water that went into the skin during bathing actually get trapped into the skin. And that is like an extra help with regard to dryness of atobic dermatitis. So I recommend applying moisturizer right after they come out of the bath and pat themselves dry and then right away put on the moisturizer.
