Skin-cleansing cloths

In medicine, these nanocelluloses can be utilized as excipients such as binders, fillers, and/or disintegrants in the development of solid dosage forms. In cosmetics, wood nanocellulose is suitable as an additive in skin-cleansing cloths and as part of disposal diapers, sanitary napkins, and incontinence pads (Kumar 2002). 

Dirt is attracted to and held on the skin and clothing mostly by fats and oils that are insoluble in water. Soap, an artificial, human-made (synthetic) substance, cleanses by making fats and oils dispersible in water soap acts as an emulsifier, a substance that disperses solids into liquids in which they are usually immiscible. When used as a body cleanser, for example, soap combines with oils and fats together with dirt particles on the skin, emulsifying and dispersing them in water in such a way that they can be disposed of with the water. 

The Romans and Greeks before the Christian era seem to have been without soap as we know it, and to some of us today their cleaning methods seem unrefined. The Greeks used oil for cleansing the skin, and supplemented it with abrasives such as bran, sand, ashes, and pumice-stone. Clothes and woolen textiles were cleaned by treading the material or beating the fabric with stones or a wooden mallet in the presence of fuller s earth together with alkali, lye, or more usually ammonia in the form of stale urine.

In case of skin contact, remove excess with clean cloth. Clean with proprietary cleansing cream and wash with soap and water. Do not use any solvent.

Treatment of skin lesions also follows decontamination and removal of clothes. Decontamination should be completed within 15 min after exposure to minimize any systemic effects. Contaminated hair should be shaved off. The decontaminating solutions should be washed off within 3-4 min to prevent additional skin injury. Sodium hypochlorite (5%) or liquid household bleach can be used. If erythema is already present, soap and water are preferred. Blisters should be left intact, but if broken, should be debrided to prevent secondary infection. Cleansing with tap water or saline and the application of dressings is done when needed. Silver sulfadiazine or mafenide acetate can be applied and the wounds treated as burn wounds. Infected skin wounds require antibiotics as appropriate. 

Oil acne is treated with the usual acne vulgaris modalities, such as topical benzoyl peroxide and retinoic acid. Systemic treatment is often needed with tetracycline, erythromycin or minocycline, or with isotretinoin in severe cases. The key factor is avoiding contact with oils and grease. Work clothes should be changed daily and frequent cleansing of the skin with soap and water is advised.
