What is the best way to treat 90 yr old skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gently: As we age the skin gets thinner with less cushion underneath. It is more susceptible to infection, tears, irritation and pressure ulcers(bed sores). Keep older skin dry, moisturized and covered against the elements. Unfragranced , super-fattedand hypoallergenic products are probably best.
