A Guide to Skin Care for Seniors

Age tends to have a more obvious effect on the skin than any other body part. Aside from your skin showing signs of aging and wrinkling as you grow older, it will it also get more sensitive, requiring you to take extra measures to care and protect it from harm – which usually comes in the form of the sun’s rays. When you’re a senior, you’ll need to follow the ideal skin care tips that will make your skin look its best, even as more years are added to your life.

Eating a Healthy and Well-Balanced Meal

Like everybody else who is concerned about having and maintaining healthy skin, seniors should eat vitamin-rich foods that contain all kinds of minerals, as well as antioxidants. Such foods include green leafy vegetables, walnuts, avocados, salmon, and much more.

Drink Lots of Water

Regardless of this, the fact still remains that keeping yourself hydrated is key to gaining a lot of health benefits particularly for the skin. With water, you can flush out all the toxins in your body which may potentially lead to skin problems.

Protect Your Skin from the Sun

A senior’s skin is proven to be so much more sensitive and could potentially sustain more damage from the harsh rays of the sun. Keep your skin healthy by steering clear from tanning beds and lotions. Also make it a point to wear protective clothing and apply quality sunscreen if you plan on staying outdoors for an extended period of time.

Avoid Smoking and Keep Away from People Who Do
