From age 65, how often should you shower (and why over-washing can be harmful to your health) Check 1st comment šŸ‘‡šŸ‘‡

As we age, our skin becomes thinner, drier, and more fragile.

Collagen, elastin, and sebumā€”natural elements that protect and hydrate skinā€”

decline over time. Too many hot showers and harsh soaps can strip away the skinā€™s

protective barrier, causing dryness, itching, and irritation.

Experts recommend 2ā€“3 showers per week for people over 65. This keeps you clean while preserving skin health and moisture.

Shower smart:

Use lukewarm water

Choose gentle, moisturizing cleansers

Keep showers under 5 minutes

Pat dry (donā€™t rub)

Moisturize right after

Taking care of your skin is part of taking care of yourselfā€”especially as you age.

MY HUSBAND ALWAYS LEFT THE HOUSE WHEN HIS PHONE RANG & RETURNED WITH SMELLY CLOTHES ā€” ONE DAY, I FOLLOWED HIM. James was always driven by work and success. He’s quite tough inside. For 10 years together, I’d never seen him cry. But he did love me, I simply felt it. Except for the last few months. He started acting differently, almost never at home, no time with the kids, and each time he got a call, he immediately left, saying it was office work. But then, he’d return and always put his clothes in the washing machine, even if he wore them for only one hour. Once, I was fed up and tracked him down. It was an old building. I even doubted whether to go in or not. But what I saw inside left me SPEECHLESS. I saw him WITH…Full story in comments!ā¬‡ļø Full story in 1st comment šŸ‘‡

I TOOK THE TRAIN TO CLEAR MY HEADā€”AND SAT ACROSS FROM A DOG WHO KNEW TOO MUCH I wasnā€™t supposed to be on that train. Iā€™d booked the trip last minute, after a night of crying in my car outside my exā€™s apartment. Iā€™d promised myself I wouldnā€™t go back to him againā€”but I almost did. So I packed a bag, grabbed the first ticket out of town, and told myself I just needed air. A change of scenery. Something other than the swirl of regret and second-guessing. And then I saw the dog. A golden retriever, sitting straight up like he belonged there more than I did. One paw on the table, tail draped elegantly over the seat like this was his usual commute. His owner looked relaxed, sipping coffee and chatting softly to the woman across the aisle. But the dogā€”he looked at me. I mean really looked. Head tilt, ears perked, eyes locked on mine. I couldnā€™t help but smile. ā€œHeā€™s very social,ā€ the guy said, like that explained it. I nodded, but I kept staring. There was something weirdly comforting about the way the dog held eye contact. Like he knew I was hanging on by a thread. Like heā€™d seen a hundred women in my exact stateā€”heart cracked open, pretending they were just going somewhere casual. And then he did it. He stood up, padded over, and rested his chin on my leg. I froze. His person looked startled, like this wasnā€™t normal behavior. But the dog didnā€™t care. He just looked up at me like, Yeah, I know. Itā€™s okay. I donā€™t know what came over me, but I started talkingā€”to the dog. Quietly. I told him everything I hadnā€™t told anyone else. The cheating. The guilt. The shame of not leaving sooner. And when we pulled into the station, his owner asked me something that caught me completely off guard. (continue reading in the first cį“‘mment)
