If you’re over 65 and your skin feels drier or more sensitive, your daily hot showers may be the reason. As we age, skin becomes thinner and produces fewer natural oils, making it easier to lose moisture. Long, hot showers and harsh soaps can leave skin itchy, flaky, and irritated.
Experts suggest using lukewarm water, shortening shower time, and choosing gentle, fragrance-free cleansers. Showering every other day and moisturizing right after can also help lock in hydration.
You don’t have to give up feeling clean—just make small changes to protect aging skin and keep it healthy, soft, and comfortable. 💧✨
