Abstract
A therapeutic skin patch for treatment of dry skin, includes a porous sheet-like body of inactive material, certain pores of said body being impregnated with solidified polyvinyl alcohol which contains a first combination of skin nutrients, and polyvinyl alcohol which occupies the pores of another portion of the body containing a second combination of skin nutrients, which second combination of skin nutrients is different from the first combination of skin nutrients. The polyvinyl alcohol which is contained in the pores of the one portion of the sheet-like body is characterized by a first color, and the polyvinyl alcohol which is contained in the pores of the other portion of the body is characterized by a second color that is different from the first color. The arrangement is such that the user can visually distinguish between the two portions and the corresponding skin nutrients contained in each, for the purpose of positioning the patch such that the colored sheet-like body can be applied with a predetermined desired orientation when the patch is initially applied to the skin.
