(Medical-NewsWire.com, March 09, 2015 ) Westendorf, Tirol -- Diabetics are at increased risk of dry, cracked and irritated skin during the winter months. Cold, dry air and indoor heating combine, to rob skin of its natural moisture. Soap featuring tea tree oil can help and Helga Riedmann, founder of Mountainbreeze Naturals, has released a Top 7 list of winter foot care tips for diabetics.
"We recognize that diabetes is a large concern and special care is recommended," said Helga Riedmann, founder of Mountainbreeze Naturals. "It is recommended that diabetics consult a doctor to recommend a good moisturizer for diabetes foot care, as some must use antifungal products."
Mountainbreeze Naturals is a firm specializing in tea tree oil uses. The essential oil has antifungal, antiseptic and antiviral properties and is well known for its anti-inflammatory abilities for relieving skin irritations. It provides diabetics with an easy and convenient means of addressing dry skin issues arising during winter months.
Diabetics quickly learn to forgo the luxury of going barefoot to prevent injuries. Those with diabetes experience reduced blood supply and loss of feeling in the extremities that can lead to injuries. Even a small injury can have severe results and preventing dry, cracked feet is a high priority.
To help prevent foot problems and irritated skin, Riedmann offers the following tips.
• Check feet every day for injuries, lesions, ulcerations and even tiny cracks in skin.
• Keep toenails trimmed to help prevent infection, ulcerations, blisters and prevent entry to fungal agents.
• Keep feet and toes dry after swimming, bathing or being outdoors.
• Select footwear and socks that allow feet to breathe, don't restrict blood flow, provide adequate warmth, and protect from ice, snow and slush.
• Be careful not to burn feet in the bath, when using heating pads, electric blankets, heated massagers and hot water bottles.
• Limit foot soaks and the use of hot water. Both exacerbates moisture loss and can actually lead to foot damage.
• Moisturize daily to prevent red, itchy, irritated and cracked skin that provides a pathway for bacteria and fungus to enter.
One way for diabetics to keep their feet moisturized, prevent fungal foot infection and address skin irritations is with tea tree oil soap. The Mountainbreeze Naturals organic antifungal soap soothes skin irritations, protects against fungal infections and moisturizes for year-round use.
