When moisturizing a patient’s face, what kinds of products should a nursing assistant use?

Use products that meet the agency’s guidelines and are hypoallergenic. Agency guidelines help ensure the product is appropriate for patient care, while hypoallergenic products are less likely to cause an allergic reaction or irritation. A product’s scent or someone’s personal favorite does not make it safe or suitable for the patient.
