What Causes Thin Skin in the Elderly?
Aging brings plenty of changes for us to face, with thinner skin being one of the most noticeable signs over time. For older individuals, thin skin can be a source of discomfort and concern, as well as something that affects our confidence as we age.Knowing what leads to thin skin is one of the best ways to help slow and treat the signs of aging. At Bloo Pharmapeutica we’re here to help you feel as comfortable as possible at every age. Let’s take a look at why your skin thins over time.
Why Does Skin Thin as We Age?
How to Address and Manage Thin Skin
Hydration and Nutrition
Staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins A, C, and E, as well as omega-3 fatty acids, is important for supporting skin heath and collagen production later in life.
Protective Skincare
Fun in the sun is still a great way to spend warmer days, but requires a little more attention when it comes to pre and post care. Wear and SPF of at least 30 daily, even on cloudy days where you may think you’re safe from harm.
Gentle Care
Harsh soaps and exfoliants can wreak havoc on our skin, stripping them of essential oils that help protect against dryness and damage. Opt for gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers that revitalize your skin instead of leaving it red and painful.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most users don’t have that experience, and those that do see some staining report it is very minor and comes off with ordinary cleaning or with a little bleach if really necessary. Disposable plastic travel tub liners are included and recommended for those with tub staining concerns. We always recommend draining the tub immediately after usage so as to limit exposure time of bathwater, just in case. Note: users with tubs that have pitted, porous surfaces or uneven surfaces are more likely to see staining.
Yes. Although experiences may vary, we say it is best to avoid using white textiles with Aqua Miraculorum altogether. Methylene Blue staining is particularly difficult to remove from fabric.
No. Pure Methylene Blue itself is highly staining, but Aqua Miraculorum, once dissolved in the bath is formulated to gain the greatest benefit with little to no risk of staining your skin.
No. Follow instructions including using only one sachet per full or nearly full standard bathtub. There is zero benefit to adding more than one sachet per standard full bathtub, and doing so can actually create an opposite effect to what is desired. In some instances some users with long exposure times have noticed a slight blue staining of cuticles or white/pale nail polish/gel. This fades quickly after drying and daily hand washing with soap.
As mentioned on our instruction insert, we recommend avoiding light hair contact with the bathwater, such as blonde or gray or colored treated hair.
For best results, you should spend at least 15-20 minutes, but spend as long as you like. After 3 to 4 hours the possibility of staining the tub rises, so to avoid possibility of blue staining the tub, remember to drain the tub immediately after your bath.
Most will see some hydration and reduced pore size results within 30 minutes after the first bath, but much more after 24 hours. We recommend taking 3-5 baths within the first 2 week period to see noticeable improvements. We recommend continuing with one or more baths per week to maintain progress.
A FEW WORDS FROM OUR CLIENTS
Arthritis pain and dry skin Rescue. As someone with severe and painful arthritis, I spend many nights in a warm bath before bed. Due to weight loss, my crepey skin has lost elasticity so, I thought I’d give this a try. I had never heard of “Methylene Blue” for treating skin issues before. When your tub is done filling, just throw a sachet in and swish it around to mix. Also included are 3 tub liners to prevent the product from staining your bathtub. I didn’t use the liners and had no issues with staining on my tub surround. My extremely dry skin is definitely more moisturized. I am definitely impressed with the long-lasting moisturizing effects. Gonna be part of my regular routine.
Fragrance Free for those with chemical or fragrance sensitivities. Perfect for people sensitive or allergic to fragrances. With multiple allergies and eczema I must be careful even with shampoos and conditioners. I was pleased that this was available and thrilled to find a product with some science behind supporting fragile and thinning skin. Each part of the product and packing was well thought out. Easy to set up with the bathtub liner although after the first soak I found I did not need to be concerned about any remnant of blue tint lingering behind. I am definitely adding this to my beauty regimen and have recommended it within my autoimmune support groups for help with medically chronic dry skin. I think those with Sjogrens and Ehlers Danlos dry skin could really benefit.

No more dry skin! I was super excited to try this product but a little unsure if it would work for me. Having dry skin has been a battle l’ve been faced with for years. After my first bath I was thrilled to emerge with fresh moisturised skin. Not only that, I didn’t need to apply my lotion every couple hours a day anymore!!! Wow! Thanks guys you made my month.

Best skin product l’ve ever used. I can’t believe I spent my whole life not knowing about methylene blue and what it can do for the skin. I was blown away by the instant improvement I saw after the first bath. My skin looks firmer, stretch marks faded, and my skin overall feels soft and moisturized. Even the skin on my feet is no longer dry at all. I didn’t know it was possible to see such improvement so fast with something topical. I am in my mid-30s and am excited to see how this can improve my skin over time with regular use. I was even complemented on my skin the day after trying it for the first time-completely out of the blue (no pun intended, hah). There was no staining of my tub at all. The dissolvable packet is also really cool. This is so much better than a bath bomb or anything else I’ve ever tried in the bath. I highly recommend it!

Great product, amazing customer service February 2025. Absolutely amazing results!I am a bather and have tried many soaks, but with this one I can totally see my skin improving. I emailed this company for extra bathtub liners and they shipped it to me quickly and for free! A+ for customer service.For sure I will be a regular customer.

Wow! – My skin is stronger and healthier! As an 83 year old avid outdoor enthusiast and gardener, I sometimes easily get bruising on my arms and legs. Bloo’s Aqua Miraculorum product is not only a luxurious spa-like bath experience, it is truly age-defying in its properties. My skin regained its hydration, became more smooth + supple, the bruising faded- and in fact, because my skin is stronger now, I seem to bruise or cut less easily than before. A product that actually does what it claims. Refreshing!

After my Bloo bath, my skin felt so hydrated and lifted that I didn’t need to apply my usual lotion. I prefer a fragrance free bath as opposed to overly perfumed bath bombs that offer no real skin improvement.
Roberta 59, Victoria, BC.
I used Aqua Miraculorum Bloo Bath to treat my dry and thinning skin. I noticed firmer more hydrated skin after about 4 weeks of use, 2-3 baths per week.
