Caregivers have many jobs and taking care of the client’s skin is so important. Here are just a few Tips that I would offer to anyone caring for a elderly loved one or client.

1.Try to not over shower, I know that sounds crazy but their skin is sensitive and excessive showers can strain the skin along with the chance of damage to their skin. The skin can tear easily and cause wounds very easily.

2. Don’t use soaps or lotions that have strong fragrances. Always rinse the skin very well also to make sure all soap is removed.

3.Make sure the person drinks plenty of water,hydration helps the skin. Also put lotion on after they take a shower or bath. That is another from of hydration.

Taking care of the clients skin has health benefits but it also makes them just feel good. A warm shower or bath with a little lotion and cold drink of water is a great day for your clients.
