An effective moisturizing lotion can help protect and repair skin that is fragile or damaged. Skin can be weakened or broken if it becomes too dry, which can cause discomfort and allow harmful bacteria into the body. Elderly individuals are susceptible to compromised skin because the skin is more fragile and may be under pressure for long periods due to extended periods of sitting or lying down.
