Ever wondered what goes into my diabetic site skincare routine? Today, I'm spilling the beans on my go-to products that keep my sites happy and healthy. 💖
1️⃣ Gentle Cleaning: Cleaning is the first and foremost step to prevent soreness, infections, and scarring. I rely on the power of alcohol antibacterial wipes from Amazon and Zoff adhesive remover wipes for a gentle touch. These are my ride-or-die essentials to ensure a clean slate before every site change.
2️⃣ Hydration: Happy skin is hydrated skin! When it comes to removing sites, baby oil (any oil will do the trick) is my game-changer. It not only makes the process smoother but also keeps my skin feeling nourished and cared for.
3️⃣ Soothing Magic: Enter Sudocrem – my secret weapon for some much-needed healing assistance. Applying Sudacrem after a site change provides that extra layer of comfort. Trust me, your sites will thank you for this soothing magic! I am also trying out Tea Tree Cream
4️⃣ Scar Prevention: I've received some fantastic recommendations from diabuddies in the community, and Tropic Skincare Tamanu healing balm is a star when it comes to scar prevention. Using it daily has definitely helped me on my journey to heal those scars and keep my skin looking and feeling its best.
Banish Bruising: I was recommended Arnica Cream for injection and site bruising
Remember, Diabuddies, being kind to your skin is a must.
