Answer
care tips for men/female that can serve as their guide:

1. In general, men have large oily pores. It is necessary for them to clean their face every day.

2. To un-clog pores and maintain healthy skin, deep cleansing should be made. As much as possible, skin care cleansing products used must be free from chemicals.

3. Drink plenty of water to keep the skin toned and to drain away toxins.

4. Scrub the skin to take away dead skin cells and make the surface of the face smooth.

5. Follow a healthy diet and lifestyle by avoiding cigarettes and alcohol. Likewise, fruits and vegetables can make your skin glow and healthy and a good way to maintain skin care.

6. Use only oil-free moisturizer and sun screen as skin care protection especially when exposed to the sun.

7. Since most men are exposed to the environment and its pollutants, large amounts of dust are often accumulated in the skin. In turn, the skin pores clog, loses its elasticity and will easily dry up. As skin care supplements, use toners and astringents to clean and condition the face.

8. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and apply sun screen if it cannot be avoided.

9. Use only non-alcohol based products as moisturizer after shaving. Preferably, a light skin care moisturizer is suggested with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera.

Help for an Elderly Man?

Q. I've been helping to take care of my neibor's husband. He's 88-years old and has beginers stage of Alheimers. We take care of him at the house cause he's not quite ready to go to a nursing home. Although he's still able to do things for himself and take care of his garden, theres' moments when he'll become confused or have dizzy spells and lose his balance. We need to find a way to keep him from banging himself up or tearing his skin. He's got two lumps on his forehead and about three skin tears on his arms. He's very stubborn and won't wear any kind of long-sleeve on his arms. Any advice?


Answer
Iâm one of the writers for Gilbert Guide (the foremost resource for everything senior care), and I write quite a bit about Alzheimerâs. This is a difficult situation, as you already know. I am guessing it might be challenging to get him to wear protective gear considering his aversion to long-sleeve shirts. I recommend the following:

â¢Deal with the long-sleeve shirt issue. Does he not like them because he gets hotâor does he just like to feel the air on his arms? Once you discover the key issue, you can go from there. If he feels too hot in long sleeve shirts, perhaps you can try buying him shirts with breathable fabrics in his favorite colors. This might entice him to wear them. If he just doesnât like having anything on his arms, maybe you can ease him into it by buying some three-quarter length shirts and working toward long sleeves. Granted, wearing long sleeves wonât prevent him from bruising if he falls, but it should help with the minor cuts.
â¢In regards to the lumps and bruises, short of wrapping him in bubble wrap, thereâs not much you can do to safeguard his body. I recommend making sure his homeâs a safe environment. I recently wrote a post on fall prevention that you might find helpful. You can view it at:

â¢Get to the root of his dizziness. Schedule a medical exam with his doctor to assess his vision, heart rhythm and blood pressure. The doctor may conduct any of a series of tests and may recommend a series of exercises, medication or vestibular rehabilitation therapy (you can read about it here: http://www.utmedicalcenter.org/rehabilitation/rehabilitation_services/vestibular_rehabilitation_therapy/) Scientists are currently working on a medication to improve blood flow to the brain, so it would be wise to ask your doctor to keep you abreast of the latest pharmaceuticals.
â¢A few things that might help with dizziness: make sure heâs getting enough water so he doesnât get dehydrated, encourage exercise, possibly yoga or activities that help with balance, suggest eating small portions every two hours, promptly treat ear infections if they develop, make sure his place is well-ventilated, see that he gets enough sleep and if heâs a smoker, encourage him to quit.

Here are a couple Alzheimerâs Resources to help you answer other questions that arise:
Alzheimerâs Disease Education and Referral (ADEAR) Center
www.alzheimers.nia.nih.gov

Alzheimerâs Association

I hope this information helps.
