Elderly Skin Care
As we becomes mature with aging, our skin age with the years of sun exposure, wrong eating habits, lack of skin care, use of harmful chemicals etc. Elderly skin can be very dry and becomes very thin, with the structures in the dermis clearly visible. The skin becomes more fragile and prone to injuries, with the lack of protection from the dermis, the small blood vessels become vulnerable to breakage and bursting.
At this age, the regular care of the skin is especially important, including the use of mild cleansers. Good-quality day and nigh moisturizers will help to combat the decline in mature skin’s barrier function. Try to protect the skin from sun exposure.
It is however best to avoid long scalding soaks, as well as harsh soaps and bath foams if the skin is sensitive as this combination disrupts its barrier function

Are you prone to sandworms
Sandworms is a skin disease which is caused by the larvae of various parasites. It is also called cutaneous larva migrans, creeping eruption or ground itch also.
The parasites that cause the same is commonly found in the feces of cats & dogs. These parasites penetrate the outer layers of the skin and create wormlike burrows that are visible inside the skin. So if you have some pets, please make sure to keep your house clean of the feces & in case of any accidents clean the same with good disinfectants.
The infection causes a red, intense itching eruption which can become very painful. There are many ways to treat the disease including oral medicines, ointments for application etc. Some of them are:
- Oral agents including albendazole & ivermectin
- Freezing agents like ethyl chloride or liquid nitrozen.

Skin Cancer & Meat
In addition to the common known preventions to Skin Cancer like staying out of the sun during the peak hours, and using sunscreen and protective clothing, the eating habits (diet) can reduce risk of skin cancer.
A diet rich in meat and fat increases the risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin as compared to a diet rich in vegetables and fruit
Researchers from the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Brisbane found that people who have a history of skin cancer, can benefit by avoiding fatty foods, overly processed foods, and foods with high amounts of sugar. The association with green leafy vegetables mostly explained this protective effect. No association was seen between dietary patterns and cutaneous basal cell carcinoma, another common form of skin cancer.

Fungus to Fight Ageing Skin?
It might seem counterintuitive to use fungus to improve your skin, but recent research has showed that Chinese mushrooms such as shitake and Matsutake can fight your skin’s ageing process, brightening your skin tone and reducing redness and inflammation.
Various mushroom combinations are starting to show up in face serums, restorative creams, and anti-puffiness eye creams. Oftentimes the mushrooms (including ones with lovely names like Hypsizygus ulmarius) are blended with other beautiful-sounding ingredients like algae and argan nut oil. Hey, if it sounds that bad, it’s got to be good for you, right?
Even if mushrooms do have anti-inflammatory properties, how can that help the skin of your face? You may not realize it, but many imperfections of the skin, including pigmentation, redness, puffiness, and dryness, can all be caused by mini-inflammations. When the inflammation is removed, your facial skin looks brighter, healthier, and more vibrant.
Personally, I love mushrooms, and I am glad to find that they have more benefits to my health. It seems a bit of a waste to let these wonderful-tasting fungi be used in creams and ointments, but anything that makes them more popular is just fine in my book.
