From a certain age, daily activities should be approached with care. One of the simplest actions—taking a shower—might actually be harming your skin without you even noticing. What if we told you that after the age of 65, daily showers might not be the best idea? Can you believe it? It’s a surprising recommendation, but one that has been assessed by professionals.

As time goes by, our skin loses some of its inherent abilities. The decline in collagen, elastin, and sebum—key components that keep our skin firm, flexible, and safeguarded—can lead to noticeable changes.
Consider the skin barrier as a knight’s shield: over time, this shield becomes thinner and more delicate. Additionally, external factors like pollution, cold weather, and chemicals find it easier to penetrate. Frequent showering is also an unlikely aggravating factor.
