As we get older, our skin naturally becomes thinner, drier, and more sensitive. That can make a simple daily shower feel very different than it did years ago.
So, how often should you shower after 65?
The answer may not be as simple as showering every single day.
Why Your Skin Changes With Age
With age, the skin tends to produce less natural oil. Frequent hot showers, long bathing sessions, and strong soaps can remove even more of those protective oils.
This may leave the skin feeling:
- Dry or tight
