Health glossary

Healthy aging: Maintaining mobility, thinking, daily function, and a meaningful life does not require being free of every disease or wrinkle.
Daily functioning and independence.: What a person can do in daily life, including travelling, making decisions, self-care, working, and maintaining relationships.
Skin barrier: The outer layer of the skin helps retain water and block irritants. When this balance is lost, the skin may become dry, itchy, or peel more easily.
Active ingredients in skincare: Ingredients used for concerns such as marks, pigmentation, or acne. Introducing several at once can increase irritation.
broad-spectrum sunscreen: Choose sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB. Combine it with protective clothing, a hat, an umbrella, and shade when spending time outdoors.
Retinoids: Vitamin A derivatives used for several skin conditions. They can cause irritation and require precautions, so start with appropriate guidance.

Choose broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and a water-resistant formulation when needed outdoors. Apply enough and reapply according to your activities. Add clothing, a hat, an umbrella, and shade during intense sun exposure.

If adding a retinoid, exfoliating acid, or treatment for skin marks, address one concern at a time and start infrequently. Combining several active ingredients increases irritation risk. Seek advice first if pregnant, breastfeeding, or living with a skin condition.
