Paper-Thin Skin
I have several elderly clients with very thin skin. The skin tears easily with the slightest abrasion. Also, it bruises easily, leaving dark purple areas on the hands and forearms.
As a favor, I'm researching treatments for aging and thinning skin. I've found a link that claims emu oil contains essential fatty acids, omega3 and omega-6, that helps repair and thicken aged skin.
Also, I found an herbal skin repair cream with Calendula, Comfrey and Yarrow extracts, and Bach flower essences.
