The skin of the feet is always very delicate because, during the day, it is subjected to stress due to friction, heat and compression which can lead to dryness and thickening. These two skin manifestations may also be due to:
- Aging: as you age, your skin tends to lose firmness and become drier.
- To dehydration: when the skin does not retain water, it becomes tight and cracked.
- To diabetes: this disease causes blood circulation problems and the feet, not getting enough blood supply, also get less oxygen and nutrients. The result? Swollen and dry feet, with the risk of the appearance of ulcers and serious wounds.
It is therefore important to help prevent the problem or help counter it by using an emollient and moisturizing cosmetic treatment specifically designed for dry and diabetic foot: P.O.L. Podactive by Cantabria Labs Difa Cooper is the ideal adjuvant and repairing gel for chapped, thickened or fissured foot skin and for maintaining the integrity of the diabetic foot.
The innovative gel texture, with a dry touch and rapid absorption, makes the application of P.O.L. Podactive ultra-comfortable because it is non-greasy and gives an immediate sensation of softness and comfort to the skin. Its daily use helps keep the skin more elastic and counteracts flaking, dryness and fissures. This treatment, based on ingredients with distinctly emollient, repairing and elasticizing properties, can be considered one of the good rules to follow for the health of dry and diabetic foot together with:
- Adopt daily hygiene and care practices.
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle (adequate nutrition, no smoking and control overweight).
- Wear suitable, breathable footwear.
- Avoid walking barefoot and wear socks made of natural and absorbent materials (to be changed every day).
These simple daily practices, combined with the application of the moisturizing P.O.L. Podactive treatment, will help to repair and improve the dryness and thickening of fragile feet, and to maintain the skin integrity of the diabetic foot.
