Maintaining good personal hygiene is crucial for overall health and well-being at any age. It not only prevents the spread of germs and illness but also contributes to a sense of self-confidence and comfort. As we age, however, personal hygiene tasks can sometimes become challenging. Here at Eminence Senior Care of Arizona, providing personal home care in Mesa, Arizona, we understand these challenges and offer a range of services to help seniors continue living independently and comfortably.
- Essential Hygiene Practices:
- Regular bathing or showering: Aim for daily or every other day, depending on individual needs and preferences. Using lukewarm water and gentle cleansers can help prevent skin irritation.
- Handwashing: Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after using the restroom, before and after meals, and after blowing your nose or coughing.
- Oral hygiene: Brushing teeth twice daily and flossing once a day are essential for maintaining good oral health. Regular dental checkups are also crucial.
- Skincare: Apply moisturizer daily to keep skin hydrated and prevent dryness. Pay particular attention to areas prone to dryness, such as hands, feet, and elbows.
- Hair care: Regular hair washing and proper brushing are important for maintaining healthy hair and scalp.
