Diabetes & Skincare: Looking After Your Skin - Dry skin is not a symptom of diabetes, but can be a result of it as diabetic’s tend to dehydrate easily, leading to dry skin. It is then easy for the dry, cracked skin to become infected. That’s why at Chemist Direct we offer a range of skincare products to help prevent dry skin. There are a lot of products out there that are marketed just for diabetics but these are no different in content or effectiveness from the products sold without the diabetic connection. So it is not necessary to spend extra money. Just use a good brand such as E45, Aveeno & Eucerin for dry skin prevention.
