Skin care
Ok, the big, fat, semi-macho, tough guy has a dumb question.
What's good for dry skin care for diabetics?
Currently, I'm still searching for a good lotion or ointment for my dry
feet and good ol' Ivory soap is getting a bit hard on the rest of me.
-Burts Bees lotion is fabulous. I was turned on to it by this group and
it really is great They have a website or perhaps you can find it in a
skin care store
-lanolin for the feet...... do not put the lanolin between the toes, just on
the tops of the foot, and wear a pair of socks so the lanolin doesn't stain
the bed sheets (you put it on before bed and wake up to smoother feet.....
may take a number of applications to get rid of cracks and callus material)
for the hands/body, Wal-Mart has Udder Cream that works a charm..... or you
can go for any of the products with Urea in them as a good lotion/cream for
elbows, hands and body
-Avoid perfumed or scented soap.
Wear natural fibre socks, not man-made.
Baby-oil.
