Cosmetics and toiletries are a very important part of the life of the elderly patient. As physicians, we must know how to recommend them; as people approaching old age ourselves, we should know how to use them. Aging skin is fragile, pale, dry, and sensitive. Sunscreens, emollients, and fragrance-free cosmetics should become part of our recommendations and use. Color and camouflage cosmetics and hair color can make a person look good, and softness is the key to natural beauty.
化妆品和洗漱用品是老年患者生活中非常重要的一部分。作为医生,我们必须知道如何推荐它们;作为即将步入老年的人,我们应该知道如何使用它们。老化的皮肤脆弱、苍白、干燥且敏感。防晒霜、润肤剂和无香料化妆品应成为我们推荐和使用的一部分。色彩和遮瑕化妆品以及染发剂可以让人看起来不错,而柔和是自然美的关键。
