Dry skin, slow healing

It seems there are many many skin problems that go away when we start eating low carb. As many of you who have pointed out allergies to grains and possibly a lot of the additives and preservatives that we find in non-low carb food could play a big part in the condition of our skin and how it reacts to the food we eat and the products we use.

As others have suggested a good natural based moisturizer will be a big help and making sure that you have proper levels of the vitamins that we all need on a daily basis will be a sound idea just for general health and well being.

If I were faced personally with the same situation that you are in and that these problems are only occurring on the hands then I would first look at the products I was using on my hands just to make sure that there was nothing there that was either too harsh for intense and frequent use and then change it to something much more gentle as have been suggested by previous posters.

As for that nagging question – are you getting enough oil? Well then good quality Krill oil is something that is well worth investing in.

Hope that helps,

Mark
