“…Itching is often accompanied by dryness and can lead to secondary skin lesions. Providing sufficient information to older people about the necessity of moisturiser use plays an important role in both the treatment of xerosis and the prevention of secondary skin diseases due to xerosis 5‐11 . Based on our observations, we believe that older people in Turkey do not regularly use skin moisturisers.…”

Objective: Skin dryness is a common dermatological problem among older people. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of moisturiser use and awareness of its benefits among older people. Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included 556 individuals over 65 years of age, all of whom were patients at family medicine and dermatology outpatient clinics at a tertiary teaching hospital. Data were summarised descriptively and analysed using binary logistic regression analysis. Results: Of the 556 individuals who participated in the study, 241 were women and 315 were men. Moisturisers were being used by 217 patients (39%), and 91 patients (16.4%) classified the use of skin moisturisers as skincare. Conclusion: We found that individuals over 65 years of age had insufficient knowledge regarding the use and benefits of skin moisturisers.

Dry skin, which is one of the most frequent dermatological problems seen in the elderly population, is an important problem that increases with aging. This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental trial to determine the effect of aromatherapy, applied to elderly persons residing in a nursing home in a city center, on dry skin. Elderly persons were grouped into a control group (20 elderly persons), an olive oil group (20 elderly persons), and an aromatherapy group (20 elderly persons). When examining between-measurements differences of the groups in the study, skin moisture levels of the elderly individuals in the aromatherapy group increased in all zones, arm, leg, back, and chest, at measurements of the second and fourth weeks compared with the first measurements. This improvement was determined to be higher after the second week. Skin moisture levels of elderly persons in the olive oil group were determined to significantly increase at the arm zone in the fourth week and at the back zone in the second and fourth weeks compared with the first measurements. Skin moisture levels of elderly persons in the control group, on the contrary, did not change in the second and fourth weeks compared with the first measurements and their dry skin continued at the same level. The intervention performed in this manner in the present study can be used in the clinical practice as an effective nursing intervention to reducing dry skin among elderly persons.
