Abstract

This invention relates to a method of providing lubricious surfaces, more particularly to a method of providing lubricious characteristics to skin surfaces that come into contact with other surfaces so as to prevent or treat chafing and/or irritation.

Claims

1. A method of treating or preventing chafing of a skin surface comprising applying to a skin surface a composition comprising silicone and a particulate.

2. A method according to claim 1 wherein said composition is a silicone-containing composition comprising at least one volatile liquid., a silicone polymer and a particulate ingredient.

3. A method according to claim 2 wherein said particulate is selected from the group consisting of silica, talc and cornstarch.

4. A method according to claim 1 wherein said method further comprises applying said composition to a second surface that is expected to come into contact with said skin surface.

5. A method according to claim 4 wherein said second surface is a skin surface.

6. A method of treating diaper rash comprising applying to a skin surface a composition comprising silicone and a particulate.

7. A method of increasing lubricity between two skin surfaces comprising applying a composition comprising silicone and a particulate to both said skin surfaces.
