Things I keep in mind when taking a bath

Many female friends love to take a bath, especially in the hot summer. Taking a bath can help us to cool down. Some female friends want to soak in the bathhouse every day without coming out. However, there are some precautions when taking a bath. We need to pay special attention to avoid the negative effects of constant bathing. Let us learn about the precautions for constant bathing.

1. The water temperature should be between 24 and 29 degrees Celsius. If the water temperature is too high, the oil on the skin surface will be more easily destroyed, the capillaries will dilate, the degree of skin dryness will be aggravated, causing damage to the skin. At the same time, it will also increase the burden on the heart.

2. Bathing time should not be too long. Take a 20-minute bath and a 3 to 5-minute shower, otherwise the skin surface will easily become dehydrated.

3. If your skin is not very oily, it is better to choose neutral bath gel and soap, but you don’t have to use it every day, just once every two or three days will be enough. Moreover, it should not stay on the body for too long and must be rinsed thoroughly, otherwise it will damage the skin.

4. After taking a shower, apply some lotion all over your body to prevent the evaporation of moisture from the epidermis, which can prevent the occurrence of dryness and itching.

5. Eat less beef, mutton, onions, garlic and other spicy foods, and drink less alcohol and smoke less.

6. After flushing with hot water, it is best to flush the whole body with relatively cool water to make the skin and blood vessels contract to a certain extent, so as to increase the elasticity of blood vessels and make people healthier. If your dry and itchy skin is still not relieved after adjusting the frequency and method of bathing, it is best to ask a doctor to diagnose your skin and prescribe the right medicine. It is more appropriate to take a bath 2 to 3 times a week. If the habit of taking multiple showers a day is difficult to change, you should pay more attention to your bathing method. People usually pay attention to personal hygiene, but they often feel unbearable itching all over their body, most of whom are middle-aged and young "white-collar workers". With the improvement of people's living standards and housing conditions, many families have the conditions to take a bath at any time. Some skin diseases caused by frequent bathing have also increased. The most common one is constant itching of the skin. For most people who work in environments where sanitation is not very poor, daily showering during the dry winter months can easily disrupt normal skin structure. The outermost layer of human skin is the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum that falls off automatically and the dirt mixed with skin sweat will not be much. Washing this part every day can have a certain protective effect on the skin.
