description As people age, the likelihood that they will experience maladies of the skin increases. It is therefore important that older individuals possess the necessary knowledge and proper attitudes and practices regarding their skincare. The purpose of this study was to examine such knowledge, attitudes, and practices among older members of the Saudi Arabian population. The results of the study showed that among the majority of the participants, skincare practices could be considered insufficient and, surprisingly, elderly men undertake better skincare practices than women of this age category. It is recommended that more should be done to educate those within the older Saudi population regarding skin care practices.
