Aging adults: take care of your skin!
As we age our skin goes through a series of changes. It may get dryer, lose its elasticity, de- velop dark spots and, of course, become wrin- kled. Here are a few practical tips to help you keep your skin healthy and looking its best as time marches on. KEEP IT MOISTURIZED Older people don’t feel thirst as strongly as younger adults. As a result, many senior adults don’t drink enough fluids and end up dehydra- ted, which can make their skin peel, crack, itch or feel tight. The solution: drink six to eight glasses of fluid each day and moisturize often— especially during the winter! EXFOLIATE SPARINGLY Eliminating dead skin cells with a scrubbing mitt or an exfoliating product keeps skin soft and helps prevent ingrown hairs. But doing so
too often (or too harshly) can be harmful, espe- cially if you have more fragile skin due to age. Don’t overdo it, and when you do exfoliate, be gentle. BEWARE OF THE RAYS Always protect your skin from UV damage, even during the winter. Overexposure to sun- light causes unsightly skin spots (which can become cancerous) and makes wrinkles more pronounced. Wear sunscreen and lip balm with at least 30 SPF every day, rain or shine. SAY YES TO CARE When it comes to repairing existing skin dama- ge, seek expert advice. Dermatologists, estheti- cians and even plastic surgeons can recommend products and treatments that are suited to your unique skin type. Look good and feel great, in- side and out!
