How you shower is more important than when

Choosing water temperature, product type… affects your body more than the time of day when bathing.
The Washington Post “What you’re using in the shower directly affects your skin,” says Mona Gohara, an associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale School of Medicine.

Bath time is just a personal decision. Whether bathing in the morning or at night, the use of poor quality products will still destroy the skin. Bath time is always a controversial topic. While many people love to shower in the morning, others find it more pleasant to have a cleanse before bed. However, for dermatologists, bathing properly impacts skin health more. Water temperature Taking a hot bath is a method that helps many people relieve stress. However, for people with dry skin, exposure to hot water does more harm than good.

Dermatologist Ivy Lee (Los Angeles, USA) said that the relaxation factor makes many people decide to take longer baths. But this habit can dehydrate the skin. Besides, Ivy Lee and some dermatologists recommend bathing for less than 10 minutes. You can use lukewarm water or cold water to avoid dry skin. Meanwhile, Phyllis Zee – a professor of Feinberg School of Medicine – found that to be good for the body, you should take a warm bath 1-2 hours before going to bed. This is the right time for the body to start cooling down naturally before bedtime. This factor helps you sleep easily. Frequency of bathing Chad Prather (Department of Dermatology, University of Louisiana) says the frequency of bathing depends on skin type and activity level. If you have dry skin or don’t have a lot of activity that leads to sweating, you can shower less often. However, consider whether you are in an environment exposed to a lot of dirt, bacteria or irritants. Mona Gohara encourages people to bathe once a day, at most twice a day. If your hair is prone to breakage, split ends, this could be a sign that you are washing your hair too often. This habit deprives you of natural moisture. Meanwhile, lazy to wash your hair can lead to greasy and cause the scalp to accumulate a lot of dandruff. You should give preference to products with not too strong detergents. Photo: Parler. Choose products that are good for your body Dermatologists recommend reaching for body washes or soaps that are described as “gentle cleansers”. Besides, sulfate-free shampoo should be preferred. One sign that the product you are using is not suitable is when the skin feels tight. In addition, do not use products with strong antibacterial and detergents. They tend to dry out the skin. Suppress the act of scrubbing Do not scrub vigorously or exfoliate too much. Mona Gohara considers products such as bath bags or mesh towels to be a reasonable choice. Besides, exfoliation should be done gently on the skin. You can bleach more than once a week. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the force of the hands when massaging.
