From age 65, how often should you shower (and why over-washing can be harmful to your health)

 

Aging skin undergoes natural changes that make it more fragile. Key supportive elements decline:

  • Collagen & Elastin: These proteins, which keep skin firm and supple, diminish.

  • Sebum Production: The skin’s natural oils, which create a protective barrier, decrease.

Think of your skin’s barrier as a knight’s shield. Over time, this shield becomes thinner and more vulnerable. External irritants—like hot water and harsh soaps—can then break through more easily, leading to dryness, damage, and discomfort.
