Rebecca is 5 years old and was born with the rare genetic skin disorder Ichthyosis. This means her skin grows much faster than it should, giving it a thickened scaly appearance.

At present, her treatment consists of regular bathing (twice a day, more if needed), followed by application of topical creams as often as she needs them. Her skin lacks vital moisture and elasticity, and so is constantly overly dry and cracks, splits and breaks. The type of ichthyosis Rebecca has (EHK/EI) also means that her skin blisters frequently, which causes a lot of pain and makes mobility difficult.

Rebecca's bathing routine lasts anything between 1hr 30 mins to 2 hrs, having a Microsilk bath will mean her bathing time will be reduced to just between 20 to 45 mins.
