and to restore elasticity. |

| Is
skin care important for diabetic skin? |
Yes,
keeping the skin supple enough to resist skin cracking
and infections is vital. |
| Why
does my skin feel dry after washing? |
Soap
and water strip the skin of all natural oils that maintain
moisture. The skin hardens as a defense mechanism to prevent
further water loss, causing dryness and tightness. |
| Why
is it important to moisturize my skin? |
Dehydration
caused by age, environment, disease or medication induces
dry, flaking, itching or chapped skin. Water evaporates
off the skin unless it is sealed in. |
| Why
