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

The right actions in the shower
Selecting the right products makes all the difference

When showering, follow these suggestions:

Moderate temperature, never hot.
Use gentle, enriched soaps or soap-free shower gels specially formulated for sensitive skin.
Short showers, about 5 minutes.
Pat dry, don’t rub.
And, above all, moisturize your skin after every shower. A good nourishing cream helps nourish the protective barrier that water destroys.
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 hydration, care, and protection. Adjusting your hygiene routine doesn’t mean giving up on hygiene; on the contrary, it means understanding your body and preparing it for what it really needs.
