People say a good bath takes away all the stress, and it actually does but are you careful not to stress your skin and body?
We hop in the shower not only to get relaxed but primarily to get rid of the dirt and impurities. However, skipping daily showers might be better for the skin. On the other hand, depending on your lifestyle schedule, daily showering might be a necessity.
Viral Strange has gathered helpful information regarding your showering routine for you to have better skin.
First, a little advice for a skin-friendly shower:
Take these tips by heart, so you do not harm your skin while showering.
• Turn the heat down. Hot water can strip your skin of essential oils.
• Use fragrance-free cleansers. Chemicals in fragranced products can be harmful.
• Keep it short. Dermatologists recommend showering for 10 mins maximum.
• Skip the soap. You might not use soap every time. Areas that need to be washed frequently with soap are your face, private parts, and armpits.
1. Shower according to your skin type
Oily skin people should not shower every day. You might think that daily showering will take away the grease but it works the other way around. Chemicals in the soap might dry out your skin. The oil glands will produce even more sebum, and your skin will be oilier.
On the other hand, people with sensitive skin or suffering from conditions like eczema or psoriasis should shower 2 to 3 times per week, to avoid skin irritation and inflammation.
2. Wash your hair according to its texture
Shampooing every day might be tricky for the hair. Depending on your hair texture, try to change your showering routine. For example, curly hair needs sebum to be moist. That is why it is suggested to wash your hair once a week.
On the other hand, people with brittle and fine hair might need to wash it every day. Thin hair gets oilier faster.
3. Shower accordingly to your work schedule and lifestyle
Depending on your lifestyle, you might consider your showering schedule to be appropriate.
So, if you work in places with dirt or chemicals around you, you need to shower daily.
The same works for people hitting the gym. Shower right after your workout session to prevent body acne and help your muscles to recover.
4. Different seasons, different shower habits
Logically, in the summertime, you might shower daily or even twice a day because of the high temperatures and sweat.
On the other hand, in the wintertime, our skin is dryer and showering often might irritate it.
