From age 65, how often should you shower (and why over-washing can be harmful to your health)

by

When you take your shower, follow some suggestions:

  • Moderate temperature, never hot.
  • Gentle, enriched soaps or soap-free shower gels, specially formulated for sensitive skin.
  • A short shower time, around 5 minutes.
  • Pat yourself dry, without rubbing.
  • And above all, moisturize after every shower. A good nourishing cream helps nurture the protective barrier destr0yed by water.

In conclusion: taking care of your skin also means taking care of yourself.

At any age, but even more so after 65, our skin needs impressibility, care, and protection. Adjusting your hygiene routine doesn’t mean quiting on being clean; in the opposite: it means understanding your body and preparing it what it really needs.
