Diabetic Lotions and Moisturizers…Do We Really Need Them?

Many men often wonder why their wives or girlfriends have so many different moisturizers, lotions, and creams. Let’s be honest being a woman and having beautiful skin is not an easy task and it’s not cheap. So do women really need all these moisturizers?

Absolutely! The truth is that not all moisturizers are created equal. Plus people that have diabetes need to make sure their skin is properly moisturized.

Face Cream

There are many reasons women buy different moisturizers. For example, depending on the time of the year, whether it is summer or winter, your skin has different needs. There are a million types of face creams and this is because not every woman has the same type of skin.

Some may have dry skin, others may have oily skin, and some have a combination of both. So many of us are always switching face creams, not because we want to, but because we need to. Dry skin in the winter can lead to breakouts and it could be because our skin is not properly hydrated.

Lotion

The thing about face cream is that it can get pretty expensive and there’s no way you’ll be putting your face cream on your arms or legs, which is why you need lotion. Moisturizing your arms and legs is very important because you don’t want to walk around with dry patches of skin, especially in the summer.

For diabetics, this can lead to bigger problems. It is recommended that people with diabetes constantly look at their feet because if their blood pressure and glucose levels are off the charts, this can lead to blisters and sores that can open up and become infected. Always keep your feet and ankles well moisturized, but never moisturize between your toes because you can develop fungus and infections there very easily.

There are many diabetic dry skin relief products in the market. Look for specific ingredients, such as Alpha Hydroxy which is non-greasy and it is clinically proven to smooth rough, cracked feet and heels. One of the great things about this ingredient is that people see results instantly. The best time to moisturize is right after you shower because that way your skin can seal in moisture.

Spending a little extra on your skin has it’s health benefits as you can see. So don’t worry if your husband complains about how many moisturizers and lotions you have, at the end of the day you’re doing it for your health.
