This product has been designed to help maintain skin integrity in the elderly and those most ‘at risk’ from compromising skin conditions.

SKIN CARE FOR THE ELDERLY

  • Use pH balanced soap alternatives e.g. (PERI FOAM CLEANSER)
  • Shower every second day, with warm not hot water.
  • Apply perfume free, low preservative moisturisers.
  • Apply protective devices to those at risk.

SHEAR PROTECTION®, can also help to protect arms and legs from cuts & scratches and will assist in protecting the skin from prolonged exposure to the sun.

  • Sebum and sweat production is reduced.
  • Epidermal layer separates more easily from the dermis.
  • Elastin fibres decrease in number but increase in size rendering skin stiff and inelastic.
