Hot water and soap matter
When seniors do shower, how they shower matters just as much as how often.
Hot water may feel soothing, but it dries out aging skin quickly. Lukewarm water is far gentler. Mild, fragrance-free soaps—or soap substitutes—are also recommended, as they cleanse without stripping natural oils.
Applying a moisturizer immediately after showering, while the skin is still slightly damp, can help lock in hydration and reduce dryness.
