Diabetes skin care products

 If you suffer from diabetes, you're probably familiar with some of the common skin problems it can cause. However, most skin problems, such as dry skin and itching, can be managed and reduced on a daily basis by choosing the right skincare.

In this category, we have gathered the best products for daily skin care that can be used if you have diabetes.

Remember, if you have any doubts about your skin problems, your diabetes or if you experience sores, cracks and infections in your skin, you should consult a doctor for proper help, guidance and treatment.

Skin itching and irritation

Diabetes can cause irritated and itchy skin. The itching is typically caused by skin problems such as fungal infections, poor circulation and dry skin, which many diabetics unfortunately struggle with. Fungal infections caused by diabetes can also cause a rash with red patches and itching.

Dry skin should be cared for daily with body lotion and creams - preferably several times when needed. It may also be a good idea to invest in an anti-itch spray that can quickly and effectively reduce itching and skin irritation on the go, when you don't have the opportunity to apply creams or lotions.

Itchy skin can occur anywhere on the body, and in this category you'll find lotions and gels for the intimate area, body, feet and heels. The intimate gel can relieve itching in the crotch, while the creams for the body, feet and heels keep the skin moisturised and protected from dryness.

If you have developed an infection, it's important to seek medical attention for proper treatment. Australian Bodycare products can only be used for daily moisturising of the skin and can help minimise discomfort such as itching and irritation. However, they cannot treat any infection, such as thrush caused by diabetes. In this case, you should consult your doctor.

Care for itchy feet and dry heels

Diabetes can reduce the sensitivity of your feet, so you may not always notice cracks and sores appearing. That's why it's also recommended to see a podiatrist regularly. In addition, you should regularly check your feet and heels for cracks and see a professional if you notice them. Sores can lead to infection and should be addressed as soon as possible.

To avoid heel cracks, take daily care of your feet and heels with good, rich foot creams. You'll find both foot cream and heel cream in this category, which can be used for daily skin care in diabetes.

In addition to dry skin and heel cracks, many people with diabetes also experience itchy feet. Itching under the feet - whether caused by diabetes or not - is quite uncomfortable as the skin area can be difficult to reach. In addition, scratching and clawing the skin is also a vicious cycle, as it can lead to cracks and sores and, in the worst cases, infection.

Apply foot cream daily to reduce itching and use a cooling foot gel to treat athlete's foot.

Dry mouth and cracked lips

Dry skin problems can affect the whole body - unfortunately, this includes your lips and mouth if you have diabetes.

Dry mouth increases the risk of developing tooth decay, gingivitis and thrush on the tongue or in the mouth, so it's a good idea to use products to reduce the discomfort.

Check out the range of products for teeth, tongue and gums in this category. You'll find both a refreshing and moisturising mouthwash and a mouth gel that can be used up to 4 times a day to relieve the discomfort of dry mouth. All the dental care products - mouthwash, mouth gel and tooth paste - can be used for the daily care of periodontitis (also known as periodontal disease) caused by diabetes.

It's also a good idea to invest in a moisturising and softening lip balm to prevent chapped and dry lips, which can lead to sores in the corners of the mouth.

Keep the skin healthy with Tea Tree Oil

All Australian Bodycare products are based on the natural Australian oil, Tea Tree Oil. Tea Tree Oil is known to counteract bacteria on the skin and keep it nice and healthy.

The oil also has an anti-itch and soothing effect on various skin problems and is therefore ideal for use in the daily care of diabetic skin. Many diabetics struggle with dry skin, itching and rashes, and products with Tea Tree Oil can make a positive difference for many.
