15 TIPS FOR SKIN-SAVING BATHING

Commit yourself to daily skin care. Here are some suggestions on how to take a nice bath in order to lower your risk of skin problems.

1. Make the bathroom a safe place to bathe.

Keep towels, clothes, and magazines off the foor.

Use a bathmat with non-skid backing to prevent falls. Don’t just throw down a regular towel that can turn into a skateboard on a wet tile foor.

Use a rubber mat or rubber sticks on the foor of the tub to give you firmer footing.

If you have decreased mobility, purchase and properly install safety rails and bars. These are available at most local medical supply or hardware stores.

Keep items in reach so you do not have to stretch or strain to reach the shampoo or soap.

Keep your bathtub clean. Use appropriate products to keep out the ring, as well as extra germs. You can sanitize your tub with one part bleach to one part water solution weekly.
