Elderly skin care is a very important health concern for aging adults. While our skin is generally ignored throughout life unless we have a cut, a rash, an itch, or a burn, etc., Skin is our largest and important organ - adults carry some 8 pounds (3.6 kilograms) and 22 square feet (2 square meters) of it,  and the  skin plays a much bigger role than just holding everything together in one package.

Healthy skin keeps infectious agents from entering the body, synthesizes essential vitamin D from sunlight, manufactures vitamin D for converting calcium into healthy bones and provides our sensation of touch through the various nerves running throughout.

The hallmark of goat milk is its gentleness and nutritive properties in digestion, but those same properties carry over to the skin care products, as well.

Goat milk skin care products are especially suited for caring for the special challenges that aging skin presents.

For cleansing, goat milk soap has the benefits of a lower pH, making it more friendly to the skin’s protective acid mantle, and a high fat content that supplies moisture, while gently removing dirt and dead skin cells.

Goat milk soaps also come in a vast array of combinations that include nourishing herbs and other natural ingredients tailored for specific skincare needs. Read the labels or inquire as to the suitability of particular ingredients for elderly skin care, or for other special skin care needs.

Creams, lotion and body butters made from goat milk are also especially nourishing for elderly skin. The special fat and protein molecules from goat milk, along with an array of vitamins and minerals, are easily absorbed through the skin, providing hydration, a protective moisture barrier, and nourishment for the skin all at the same time.

Isolated rough patches of skin might also benefit from the application of a homemade facial solution containing goat milk yogurt, sour cream or buttermilk. These fermented products contain lactic acid, one of the alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), known for helping to remove dead surface layer skin cells to leave skin smoother.

These goat milk versions of alpha hydroxy acid contain no additional chemicals or preservatives and are not as harsh as commercial products.

Conclusion, it is also vital to nourish skin from the inside out. Proper nutrition is an imperative component in elderly skin care.

As the saying goes, “The proof is in the pudding.” - That pudding was made with goat milk, right? Ha Ha Ha!

If you or an elderly loved one suffers from dry, itchy skin, try a cleansing and hydration program based on goat milk. Products are widely available, and come in a range of scents or unscented and added ingredients.

Experiment with different brands and varieties to find one that works best for your special needs.

Of course, homemade products are almost guaranteed to be less irritating and more moisturizing than commercial products, not to mention less expensive!

The savory goat cheese souffle recipe is easy and delicious. The word souffle means “to blow up” or more loosely “puff up”, souffles are an elegant milk and egg based dish that uses beaten egg whites to impart a light, airy texture to a custard base.

Souffles are served hot from the oven, because they lose their puffiness as they start to cool, and will generally fall after 5 or 10 minutes. Sweetened souffles are served as dessert, and savory souffles are served as savory light main dish, or as an accompaniment.

To make a successfully souffle, ensure to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, then carefully fold the custard mix into them.

* Note: The more you stir, the more you are bursting the air bubbles that will give the souffle its lift.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter, plus extra for baking dish
• 3/4 cup goat milk
• 4 eggs, separated
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• 1/4 tsp. sage
• 1/4 tsp. rosemary
• 1/4 cup flour, plus extra for baking dish
• 6 oz. Chevre goat cheese
• 3/4 tsp. salt (adjust up or down, depending on the saltiness of the goat cheese)
• 1/4 tsp. thyme
• 1/4 tsp. marjoram
• 1/2 tsp. parsley

Directions

Separate the eggs, placing the egg whites into a medium-large stainless steel or glass mixing bowl. Prepare the baking dish(es) - either 6 individual ramekins, or a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish, by coating with butter and dusting with flour.

Preheat oven to 375° F.

Melt the butter in a saucepan, then whisk in the flour, mixing well. Add the goat cheese, milk, salt, pepper and other spices. Continue whisking for several minutes over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat, and add the egg yolks, stirring well.

Beat the egg whites for several minutes with an electric mixer until peaks stand without falling over. Using a spatula, fold the custard into the egg whites gently, so as not to destroy the lightness of the mixture.

Pour into the baking dish(es), and sprinkle parsley on top. Bake until the top is lightly browned, about 10-15 minutes for ramekins, and 15-20 minutes for a casserole dish. Serve hot.

This savory goat cheese souffle goes well with chicken, turkey and fish main dishes, or as an entree itself with salad or soup.

With just a little attention to these details, you can successfully make your savory souffle for the first time!

Now that you have made your Dill Bread and if you still have a lot of left over whey, firstly, let us get started and experiment it on hair.

Whey is an excellent hair care product. Whey nourishes, strengthens and softens hair. You will probably find that after using whey on your hair, it is much healthier and shinier looking. And, because it is slightly acidic, whey helps improve the health of your scalp - where your hair gets its nourishment.

There are several variations of uses for whey on your hair. If your hair is not extremely filthy or oily, you can use whey in place of a shampoo to cleanse your hair. Just rub in thoroughly and rinse with cool to lukewarm water.

If your hair needs a thorough cleansing than shampoo first, and follow with a whey rinse. Leave on the hair for 5 to 15 minutes, then gently rinse with water.

Need some serious conditioning? Wet clean hair thoroughly with the whey, brushing with styling brush to distribute evenly, then let dry naturally. Rinse with warm water, dry and style. You are really going to love how soft and silky your whey-conditioned hair looks.

Another of my favorite hair care uses for whey! If you use styling gel, cream or mousse on your hair, try using whey instead. Just spray or comb whey through your wet hair and style as usual.

The whey adds great texture and body to hair, and is especially useful for fine or limp hair, because it does not weigh it down like many hair products. Just be sure to keep separating the hairs as you dry, or the hair will tend to clump together, just like gel, cream or mousse would do.

Whey is the best heat and humidity-resistant hair styling product that I have come across. Even in an extreme heat index of over 110 degrees F, the whey would hold your hair without collapsing.

And, not forgetting, you are getting the benefit of all that protein for your hair as well!

Yogurt is high in calcium and protein and includes bacteria that are beneficial to digestion and goat milk yogurt is always cool and refreshing.

Similarly, goat milk yogurt desserts are a great way to “chill out” from the summer heat and this dessert recipe is doubly so! Cold and creamy, with just a hint of that unique goat milk tang, yogurt goes well in many cold and frozen treats.  Add the tangy taste of yogurt to the zip of lemon in a cold dessert, and you can feel your body temperature dropping as you Eat and Enjoy…………..

These Yogurt Lemon Squares are delicious, elegant, and amazingly simple to create.

Ingredients

• 1 3 oz. box lemon gelatin
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup goat milk yogurt
• 2 Tbsp. goat milk

Add the boiling water to the gelatin, and stir until completely dissolved. In another bowl, mix the yogurt and milk together until smooth. Pour the yogurt mixture into the gelatin, stirring to combine thoroughly.

Lightly spray the bottom and sides of an 8″x8″ pan with cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the pan, and chill in the refrigerator for several hours until completely set. Cut into squares, carefully remove with a spatula, and serve.

How to enjoy Yogurt Lemon Squares?

Yogurt lemon squares go well with graham crackers or other lightly-sweetened cookies, as well as fruit. Top with whipped topping, powdered sugar (just before serving otherwise, it will melt), or a lemon twist.

Instead of squares, you could also make “rounds” by using a muffin pan instead of a square pan. Or, if you have kids, use a gelatin mold to create a dessert that will really make them smile. You can also make yogurt lemon “ice cubes” by using an ice cube tray. And one thing I am certain is………summer will be a lot cooler with this dessert on the menu.
