Specialists recommend avoiding both daily showers and spacing them out too far in adults over 65. The details.
As the years go by, the skin of adults over 65 undergoes significant changes: it becomes thinner, loses elasticity, and reduces the production of natural oils. These factors mean that the ideal shower frequency for those over six and a half is not the same as it was in their younger years.
Shower Frequency for Those Over 65
According to dermatology experts, it is advisable for older adults to shower every two or three days, thus avoiding extremes. This schedule keeps hygiene and odors under control, but does not dry out the skin as daily bathing can.
On days when a full shower is not taken, localized hygiene of the armpits, feet, and intimate area is recommended. This way, freshness is maintained and potential infections are prevented without damaging the skin.
