A lot of people can have dry skin, but it’s more common in people who have diabetes. The reason that it’s more common is because poor circulation leads to dry skin. When you have dry skin, it can make you feel itchy in areas of your body wherever the dry skin is present.
When you use lotion, it causes the skin to regain the right moisture balance. This heals the dry skin so it cuts out the itching. But you have to use lotion that’s formulated to help diabetics because some of them don’t have the ingredients to alleviate the dryness – those lotions can simply mask dry skin rather than healing it.
That’s why you need Eucerin Diabetics’ Dry Skin Relief Body Lotion. It’s specially formulated to help those who have dry skin because of diabetes. The formula is made with hydration in mind so it goes over and above other lotions to make sure your skin is moisturized.
On top of making sure your skin gets the moisture that it needs, the formula works to keep your dry skin softer. Rather than working a few hours a day, the lotion is made to work 24 hours a day.
Despite how easily the lotion moisturizes the skin, it’s not too thick for daily use and it’s not greasy like some lotions can be. It contains alpha hydroxy as well as ceramide 3 – which are both known for their intense ability to treat dry skin among people who have diabetes.
Because the formula is lightweight, it’s easily absorbed into the layers of the skin to work from the inside out to keep dry skin at bay. In fact, you’ll see improved results the first time you use the lotion.
Your skin will feel softer immediately and you’ll notice that the itching has stopped. The lotion is recommended by dermatologists and doesn’t contain any fragrances so you won’t have to worry about an allergic reaction.
The formula is also gentle enough so that it can be used even by diabetics who have sensitive skin. It’s so gentle, in fact, that it can be used on the face as well as other parts of the body.
The formula for the lotion is gentle enough to be used every day. You’ll want to apply the lotion right after you’ve softened your skin. You can do this right after a bath or a shower to help your skin’s absorption rate.
It can do this because the water on your skin works with the lotion toward hydrating your skin. The bottle comes with a top pump and contains 16.9 fluid ounces of lotion, so it will last you awhile.
