Talc Powder
Talc
Talc powder is used as a moisture absorber and is ideal for people with oily skin. It helps to absorb moisture and soothe irritation caused by diapers. It can also be used for adults to help prevent rashes and chafing. If you have sensitive skin, or you wish to use the talc on a baby, opt for baby powder. This type of talc powder is designed for sensitive skin to keep it soft and dry without the irritation that some ingredients can cause.
Talc body powder
Talc body powder can be used all over the body to reduce moisture from sweating and to prevent chafing between the thighs. This type of moisture-reducing powder is designed to provide you with maximum comfort, especially on hot days or if your body produces excessive moisture. In addition to general comfort, this powder can also be used for mild skin irritation.
Talc types
When purchasing talc products, you must first assess the reason you are purchasing it and your current skin condition. This is simply because some are scented body powders that are made with fragrances that may affect your skin. Some of the fragrances that are typically used in scented powders include sandalwood, amber, oakmoss, lily and rose. Medicated body powders are ideal for those who need to relieve the pain and itching caused by conditions like poison ivy.
