Norita Glispie, Clinic Coordinator at WIC's Flamingo East Office said that people sometimes damage their skin by using harsh chemicals to wash their hands, face, and body. This can result in dry and itchy patches, infections, inflammations, and acne. Exposure to air pollution and extreme heat and cold will also affect the skin.

"As people age their skin becomes thinner and more delicate," Glispie said. "Older individuals need to be gentler with their skin and make sure to use moisturizers and sunscreen, wear hats with brims when walking in the sun and wearing long sleeves and long pants when exposed to the hot sun will protect their skin."

"Continuous exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun or from tanning beds causes skin to age prematurely where it develops wrinkles, loses elasticity and in some instances affecting skin color and texture," Norita Glispie, Clinic Coordinator at WIC's Flamingo East Office, said. "Everyone should also treat their skin gently by minimizing long, hot showers or baths, using unscented soaps and never scrubbing the skin. Applying unscented moisturizers from head to toe after bathing will also go a long way to maintaining healthy skin."
