The cream should be applied following the direction of hair growth. Avoid applying any further ointments or creams on to the affected area until after the Zerobase has been completely absorbed into the skin.Additionally Zerobase can be applied prior to bathing to help prevent further loss of hydration from the skin by creating a barrier that locks in moisture.
