Because every skin has its own story – the TENA® Skincare range

To meet the skin health needs of elderly residents, we now offer a total care approach in which procedures and products can be adjusted to fit the needs of individuals – the TENA Skincare range.

The TENA Skincare range is built on years of experience in providing quality incontinence products. It is also the result of working closely with care home managers and caregivers. Preventative personal skincare can help minimize the risk of incontinence-related skin breakdown, while also benefitting the working environment for your staff.

To deliver this, the range is broadly divided into four complementary categories that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of your residents.

Ultimately, we believe these innovative products work together to help transform skincare for vulnerable elderly residents and contribute to their overall health and wellbeing.

Fragile, elderly skin deserves special care

Frequent cleansing with soap and water, as well as incontinence can disrupt the skin’s integrity reducing its ability to prevent infection. Furthermore, the breakdown of skin arising from incontinence can have a considerable impact on an individual’s physical and psychological wellbeing. [3]

An optimal skin care regime following episodes of incontinence helps to prevent the occurrence of incontinence associated dermatitis; it should include gentle cleansing, moisturising and the use of a skin barrier or protectant if necessary. [3]

No-rinse cleansers are considered best practice because they are beneficial to skin condition. [4]

The evidence for TENA Skincare

TENA Skincare products were trialled in long-term care facilities with encouraging results. [5,6]

TENA Skincare improved skin conditions for a significant number of residents. Two-thirds of the elderly residents benefitted from improvements in their skin’s condition when using the TENA Skincare system vs. soap & water. [1]

High level of moisturisation and cleansing. [5,6] TENA Wash Cream provides over 5x more moisturisation than a leading no-rinse cleanser* and 7x more than soap and water. [5] In addition to a greater level of moisturisation, TENA no-rinse cleansing provides equivalent cleansing to soap and water. [6]
