How to Stay Cool and Fresh in Summer: Skincare Tips for Elderly & Incontinence Care

As temperatures rise during the warmer months, many of us find ourselves feeling hot, sticky, and generally uncomfortable. While it’s often easy enough to manage for most, staying cool and fresh can be a much bigger challenge for elderly adults, those living with frailty, or individuals managing incontinence.

In these situations, excess sweat, urine, and moisture can quickly lead to discomfort — and even more serious issues such as skin irritation, redness, and fungal infections like thrush. These conditions can cause distress and impact quality of life, particularly when left unaddressed.

That’s why regular personal care and hygiene become even more important during the summer. Gentle cleansing and effective moisture management can go a long way in helping maintain skin health and overall comfort — especially for those most vulnerable.

Support Starts with You: Top 3 MoliCare® Products for Summer Comfort

If you’re a caregiver, you play a crucial role in helping those you support stay comfortable, clean, and confident—especially during the warmer months. Managing sweat, incontinence, and skin sensitivity can be a challenge, but the right products make all the difference.

To help you navigate summer care with ease, we’ve put together our top 3 recommended products from MoliCare®, specially designed to protect delicate skin, support hygiene, and promote wellbeing:

1. MoliCare® Moist Skin Tissues

These convenient wet wipes are a great all rounder to handle a whole host of cleansing needs from hands and face, to intimate cleansing. These wipes are gentle enough for use on buttocks, genitals and perineum for people with incontinence.
