Duct tape is another innovative product to use when you want to prevent blisters. To use it to stop the formation of blisters, simply wrap it around the part of your skin that is considered a 'hot spot' while you are engaging in certain activities. The tape acts as a barrier between your skin and whatever it is that is rubbing or causing friction against it. Many individuals wrap this kind of tape around their toes or heels while they are wearing work boots or athletic shoes. They also wrap it around their ankles while wearing high-top boots that otherwise would rub against their skin. It is an affordable and straightforward way to avoid blisters.

Moleskin is another product used to prevent blisters. It is a soft, cotton-like material that can be wrapped around or applied to the skin to prevent friction and rubbing. It eliminates the hot spot sensation that can cause a blister to form. Because of how soft it is, moleskin is comfortable to wear all day long. However, you may want to remember to apply a fresh layer each day and at a certain point, avoid wearing it for several days at a time. You should also keep your skin clean and dry to stop blisters from forming under the moleskin.

Keep going for what skincare practice helps reduce the likelihood of blisters.
