Itch Itch Scratch Scratch - Dry Diabetic Skin

 

Dry Skin

 

Spring - Coming Out From The Layers

Winter.

A time of hiding skin under

sweatpants and sweatshirts.

Layers of clothes,

hats,

gloves,

socks and shoes.

Spring.

A time of showing skin.

T-shirts,

shorts,

and sandals.

 

Yikes! Dry Skin Alert

Oh my....

as I transition to skin showing shorts and shirts

I

just

want

to

CRY.

My skin is dry, flaky, itchy, and, did I mention DRY?

I have bottles of lotion everywhere.

What else can I do?

 

Prevention Tips

So here are a few tips if you suffer from dry skin.

One thing may not help but put a few tips together

NOT hot

2. Less frequent bathing.

Wash only what's dirty.
