1. Eat Health Foods
Eating healthy foods is important for everyone.
Include foods in your loved ones diet that are
rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals.
These foods are not only good for skin health but
also make it look and feel good. Skin healthy
foods include green vegetables, melons, berries,
salmon, walnuts, avocados, and citrus fruits like
lemon, orange, and lime.
2. Drink Lots of Water
There may be a lot of conflicting studies about
the amount of water a person should drink each
day. However, having 8 to 12 glasses of water is
essential for seniors. Water refreshes the body
and eliminates the toxins that can seriously harm
the skin.

4. Quit Smoking
3. Use a Humidifier
Seniors skin tends to dry and it can get very
difficult in winter to deal with dry skin because
the cold and dry air causes cracking, chapping,
and redness. A humidifier will provide the needed
moisture in the air to prevent dryness.
Smoking causes a leathery, dry feel on the skin.
It is extremely unhealthy for people of all ages.
Giving up smoking will allow the body to heal
itself to regain health, which further enhances
skin health.

5. Sun Protection
Exposure to the sun dries out the skin and
deteriorates it very quickly. To have soft,
healthy skin, avoid going out in the sun during
hot days. If it is necessary, wait for the
hotness of the weather to cool down a little bit
at around 4 pm or 5 pm. Make sure your loved one
wears sunscreen and protective clothing when
going in the sun for extended hours.
6. Keep Nails Trimmed
Many people unintentionally scratch themselves
with long nails. As aging skin takes longer to
heal and so seniors should keep their nails
trimmed to prevent self-inflicted scratches.

7. Wear Spectacles or Sunglasses
Seniors who squint a lot because of
nearsightedness or sunlight are often found to
develop wrinkles around the eyes. To avoid such
wrinkles, seniors should wear sunglasses when
going out in the sun and get eye checkups on a
yearly basis to whether or not they need new
glasses or their glasses and contact lenses are
in order. Encourage your senior loved ones to
follow these tips to cherish healthy and
beautiful skin in golden years. If they need
assistance to maintain a healthy diet and fitness
plan to stay in good shape, consider having
at-home care, Tucson,AZ families trust, to allow
them to lead a healthy and happy life while aging
in the comfort of home.
