Studies have shown that diabetic skin requires particular care to avoid complications resulting in painful skin inflammation, ulcers, infection and fungal outbreaks.* Not to mention the dryness caused by compromised circulation, medications and swelling to stretch the skin resulting in thinner skin that is prone to itching and tearing.
Â
How do diabetics benefit from skin-lasting?
- skin-lasting contains no oils, fats or petroleum to seal in bacteria or fungus
- Rapidly hydrates to provide relief from dryness with longer lasting relief
- skin-lasting can easily and quickly relieve the pain of cracked, brittle, dry skin
- Can soothe the tight feeling from edema or swelling of extremities and feet
- Easily applied to hard-to-reach areas with an easy-to-use spray
- Soothing and helpful in reducing rash, irritation and fungal infections in skin creases and folds
Â
Why are fats, oils (and petroleum-related products) so dangerous to diabetic skin?
- Dry skin is caused by water loss in the skin, not by a need for more oil— treating with oil or fat based products alone can worsen the condition by sealing in bacteria and fungus.*
- Fats and oils in skincare products clog skin pores and reduce healthy function of the sweat glands, which are already compromised by diabetes.*
- Petroleum products can “trap” bacteria and fungus on the skin.

Success Story
“I am a diabetic with fragile, dry skin. I have tried many creams, used them several times a day, but still have dry, tight skin a few hours later. I get fungus between my toes and my legs are swollen, so I can’t reach my feet. With Skin-lasting I can just spray and it helps my problems go away. My pharmacist recommended this product and I am very happy with it.”
