Diabetes-Friendly Eucerin Skincare and Health Tips

If you have diabetes, you probably have extremely dry skin. But over the counter relief is in sight, thanks to Eucerin's newest product line, Diabetics' Dry Skin Relief, specially formulated to prevent and relieve dry skin for those living with diabetes.


The non-greasy, alpha hydroxy-infused product options are: the lightweight Body Creme; the advanced coverage Body Lotion; and the gentle Foot Creme. Using the product is not a substitute for seeking medical guidance from your doctor or dermatologist, but they can help people with diabetes, and those who simply want a more substantial moisturizer, improve the appearance of the skin, soften and smooth dry skin, and achieve healthier looking skin.

Here are a few tips from Eucerin on how to incorporate Diabetics' Dry Skin Relief products ($5.99-$12.59) into your daily moisturizing routine.  Although Eucerin is a sponsor of the American Diabetes Association, these tips are not intended to be medical advice, or to treat the underlying skin disease or condition:

1. Monitor your skin regularly and check for skin breaks, especially on the feet.

2. Use moisture-rich cleansers and lotions to maintain the skin's protective barrier.

3. Look for moisturizers that gently exfoliate and provide intense moisture; they help remove flaky skin and bind water to keep skin soft and smooth.

4. Cleanse with warm (not hot) water and a mild, soap-free cleanser.

5. Keep baths or showers short to avoid drying out your skin.

6. After bathing, gently pat dry with a soft towel and apply moisturizer while your skin is still damp, to seal in moisture. Try NIVEA's (part of the same parent company as Eucerin) new In-Shower Nourishing Body Lotion for Dry Skin.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

(Tracy E. Hopkins) It's the end of a budget shopping era. Conway discount stores are closing in New York City . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to the Big Apple, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and...

DanceAfrica 2024 Returns to Brooklyn Academy of Music

The DanceAfrica Bazaar is one of my favorite annual street fairs. I love to watch folks show up and show out in their flyest Afrocentric garb and to shop for handmade beaded bracelets and earrings from the African vendors.  And when I'm fortunate enough to snag a ticket as I did this year courtesy of BAM, I enjoy watching the kinetic African dancers (this time the country featured is Cameroon) during the spirited and spirit-filled DanceAfrica performance at the Howard Gilman Opera House.   (Photos courtesy of BAM/Tony Turner) If you want to join in the fun, here's the weekend lineup that's truly for the culture.
