Personal Message to Older Adults Using Keys®

Hi, this is Bob Root, Keys Scientist.

If you are listening to this and you are over 70, this message is especially for you.

You have probably noticed that your skin is not the same as it was at 40 or 50. It may be drier, more fragile, or more easily irritated. That is not just a cosmetic change; it is the skin barrier showing its age. The good news is that, unlike many internal organs, your skin is directly accessible. You can put something on it that truly helps.

When I formulated Keys® moisturizers, I had you in mind. I wanted products that could be used generously over large areas without worrying about harsh chemicals or unnecessary additives. I wanted textures that older skin would accept and ingredients that support the barrier instead of fighting against it.

Here is a practical approach. Make barrier care a daily ritual, not an occasional fix. After bathing, apply your Keys® moisturizer from the neck down: arms, legs, chest, back—wherever you can reach. If you have a partner or caregiver, ask them to help with those hard-to-reach areas. Over time, this consistency helps maintain hydration, supports the skin’s lipid structure, and can reduce that constant low-level irritation that so many older adults simply accept as normal.

The science emerging now—looking at serum inflammatory biomarkers, skin barrier decline, and microbiome disruption in older adults—tells us that what you do on the surface may have consequences deeper inside. That is why I take this personally. Keys® is my way of putting the latest barrier science into your hands in a simple, daily form.

So, from me to you: treat your skin barrier with the respect it deserves. Your future self may thank you, not just for how your skin looks, but for how your whole body feels.
