Diabetes and NS 8
-
People with Diabetes have reduced sensation in their extremities, particularly in their feet
-
Using physical abrasion, such as foot files and pumice stones, is not recommended
-
Skin may be removed unknowingly, which can lead to diabetic foot ulcers which in turn can lead to amputations.
-
NS 8 Heel Balm gently but effectively exfoliates thickened skin without the use of foot files
-
Skin provides a protective barrier against infection by secreting natural oils, such as sebum not only soften skin, but also maintain the normal pH balance to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth
-
NS 8 Heel Balm is an intensive moisturising complex which contains Natural Moisturising Factors which are more easily absorbed and therefore more effective.
NS 8 Heel Balm Complex is the best choice for feet and heels affected by diabetes

Diabetes and Moisturisation

It is very important to look after the skin on the feet
-
Dry skin can be itchy and result in skin infections and complications such as cellulitis
-
Dry skin can be prevented by using a natural moisturiser and cleansing with a soap-free wash
-
Dry skin is more sensitive and therefore it may be beneficial to avoid known skin irritants like parabens, propylene glycol, tea tree oil, lanolin, colours and perfumes
-
Natural moisturisers are quickly absorbed by the skin
-
Skin provides a protective barrier against infection by secreting natural oils
NS 8 Heel Balm is natural dermatology
