Keeping Skin Comfortable and Clean in Your Golden Years

Use warm, not hot water

Keep showers short (5–10 minutes)

Choose mild, fragrance-free cleansers

Avoid vigorous scrubbing

Pat skin dry instead of rubbing

Apply a thick moisturizer while skin is slightly damp to lock in hydration

Moisturizing Is Key

Older skin produces less natural oil, making daily moisturizing essential. Thicker creams or ointments usually work better than lotions. Look for ingredients like:

Ceramides

Glycerin
