With old age comes thin, sensitive skin. As a person ages, the need to care for the skin - the body's external barrier against pathogens and allergens - becomes much more important.
Thinner skin is far more susceptible to dryness, itch, and overreaction to stimuli, such as scratching. What begins as a mosquito bite can turn into a sore or large lesions once scratched. Not only that, but older skin simply doesn't heal as quickly, and those itch-induced lesions can linger for weeks and even months!
Jane M. will attest that old age and thin skin have their disadvantages, but having Lavengel® on-hand has its own advantages:
"My dermatologist told me I have two strikes against my skin - being born a redhead and being of a certain age (85+). Dry, thin skin is prone to be itchy.
Any time that I scratch an itch, my skin turns a brilliant red and continues to itch! Some dear people gifted me with Lavengel and it has been miraculous.
Ordinarily it would take 10-14 days for the redness and itching to disappear. With Lavengel my skin clears up within 3-4 days. I can’t sing its praises enough!"
Lavengel® can be of help to people and dogs of all ages, but especially for seniors with thin, sensitive skin. If even a small amount of gel can reduce itch and healing time by half like it does with Jane, that's more than enough reason to keep it as a staple in your medicine cabinet!
