Lip Care Tips for Seniors
Use a deeply moisturizing formula
As we age, skin produces less natural oil and retains less moisture. Older lips need richer, more penetrating moisturizers. Organic coconut oil and jojoba oil deliver the deep hydration aging lips require.
Apply more frequently than younger adults
Mature skin loses moisture faster and heals more slowly. Seniors should apply lip balm at least every 2 hours and always before going outdoors, even for brief trips.
Check medications for drying side effects
Many common medications — including blood pressure drugs, antihistamines, and diuretics — cause dry mouth and dry lips as side effects. If your medications dry your lips, increase lip balm application accordingly.
Stay hydrated throughout the day
Older adults often have a diminished sense of thirst. Set reminders to drink water regularly. Proper hydration supports lip moisture from the inside, complementing your topical lip care.
Choose fragrance-free to avoid irritation
Mature, sensitive skin can react to fragrances and essential oils. Numbrrrz Unscented provides maximum moisture with minimum risk of irritation for sensitive, aging lip skin.
