Gentle cleansing and regular moisturizing help limit dryness, irritation, and itching and support the aging skin barrier.

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.

Support the skin barrier with lukewarm rather than hot showers, gentle fragrance-free products, and moisturizer applied while skin is still damp. Adding several active ingredients at once can increase irritation.

Itching can relate to eczema, medicines, infection, or kidney, liver, and thyroid conditions. Widespread itching or itching without an obvious skin cause warrants assessment.

Things you can start doing

Start with practical steps.

Pause irritating skincare and use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser.
Apply moisturizer immediately after showering and repeat on dry spots.
Introduce skincare products one at a time and test a small area first.
