At 62, aging recently seems to be accelerating for me. One thing I notice is that my skin literally seems to be much thinner. Scrapes that I wouldn't even have noticed before seem to break the skin easily. I've started wearing gloves for activities like stacking firewood or pruning prickly bushes.
However, I never ever ever cut myself shaving. I wonder whether the exfoliating action of daily shaving leads to tougher skin, and whether exfoliation on the rest of the body, in particular the arms and legs, might be beneficial. Maybe a brush, loofah, or similar item in the shower? Maybe it's just general stimulation of circulation in the skin. Any thoughts, observations, or further suggestions? (No, shaving the arms and legs isn't going to happen.)
