Pay attention to the health of the elderly in winter.

1. Wear thick clothes. You should keep your body warm at all times.

2. Apply lotion often. Or apply oil to the skin after bathing and towel drying the body every time to help maintain the skin's moisture.

3. Do not take a long hot shower. Elderly people have less subcutaneous fat and sebaceous gland function decreases with age, so the skin tends to lose moisture easily. Especially during the winter months when the air is dry and there is little humidity in the air. When taking a very hot shower, it will wash away a lot of the fat on the skin.
