Neither daily nor weekly: what is the ideal shower frequency for people over 65?

The right frequency, according to the experts

Dermatologists agree that showering every two to three days is ideal for people over 65. This routine keeps skin clean, fresh, and comfortable without stripping it of its natural protective oils.

Tip: On days when you don’t shower, gently cleanse your most delicate areas (armpits, feet, and intimate area) with a soft sponge and a gentle, hydrating cleanser. This quick routine is enough to maintain good daily hygiene.
