When temperatures drop, are humidity also decreases. For most people, that means drier skin. But if you’re living with diabetes, the effects can be more severe.
Here’s why:
• Reduced circulation can limit the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the skin, slowing its ability to heal.
• Nerve changes from neuropathy may increase pain or numbness, making it easy to miss small cuts or burns.
• Moisture loss happens faster, leaving skin itchy, flaky, and more vulnerable to cracking, leading to risk for infection.
That’s why consistent moisturizing and skin care routines are so important during cooler months.
Tip: Apply a diabetes-friendly lotion like EAZE-Z Diabetic’s Dry Skin Lotion right after bathing to lock in hydration and strengthen your skin’s barrier. Wear gloves and warm socks, check your feet often, and avoid extreme temperatures.
Healthy skin is more than comfort, it’s protection!
