How to clean seven dead corners of the body

Taking a bath is something we have to do every day. Have you ever thought that even if you take a bath every day, there will still be "shameful" corners on your body? For example: ears, elbows, back, belly button, knees, toe gaps, etc., have you washed them correctly?

Taking a fragrant bath is a favorite of many people, but have you really washed it clean? Behind the ears, belly button, back, toe space...are these "buried" places really clean?

Most people have never thought about whether the way they take a bath is correct! Whether it is a 3-minute quick shower or a 30-minute soaking bath, they think that as long as they take a bath every day, it will be fine. In fact, the long-term impact of using the wrong method on the skin cannot be ignored.

Blind spot 1: Behind the ears and ear holes.

Don’t think that no one can see behind your ears and ignore it. If the weather is too hot one day and you tie your hair into a ponytail, it will be embarrassing! The correct rules for cleaning ear piercings vary from person to person!

How to wash?

1. Don’t forget to clean behind your ears when taking a bath. In addition, when washing your hair, rubbing it with your hands full of bubbles can also achieve a cleaning effect.

2. For the outer contour of the ear, gently wipe it a few times with a wet towel every time you wash your face.

3. There are two types of earwax: dry and wet. Dry earwax is easier to accumulate, so you can use a cotton swab or ear stick to remove it after washing your face every day. For wet earwax, just clean it with a cotton swab or ear stick every 3-5 days.

Blind spot 2: elbow.

There was a shower gel advertisement in which a female protagonist was mistakenly believed to have not washed her body properly because of the thick skin on her elbows! Frequent friction on the elbows can easily cause the cuticle to thicken and peel, so you should take better care of them!

How to wash?

1. Bend and straighten your elbows, and rub them back and forth several times with a bath towel or bath brush.

2. Exfoliate once a week, then apply skin care lotion and stop supporting your chin with your hands to reduce friction.

Blind spot 3: genitals.

This private area does not actually require complicated cleaning, otherwise it will cause more trouble!

How to wash?

1. When taking a shower every day, just wash the vulva with soap or shower gel, and then rinse it with clean water. If there is any inflammation, rinse it with clean water and seek medical treatment.

2. As for the inner vulva, doctors recommend not to wash it or use any vaginal cleansers, so as not to disrupt the acid-base balance in the vagina and cause infection.

Blind spot 4: back.

Winter backless clothes are ready to be put away in the closet. Wearing thick winter clothes, no one will see it, so you don’t need to take care of your back… Don’t have this idea! A beautiful back is not something you can just do at the last minute. You still need to take care of it every day regardless of the season!

How to wash?

1. When bathing, use a long-handled bath brush to scrub back and forth on your back, or use a long bath towel to hold the head with one hand, toward the back of the waist, and hold the tail with the other hand, toward the shoulder, and rub back and forth on the back.

2. After washing, apply alcohol-containing astringent lotion or fruit acid skin care products to avoid acne!

Blind spot 5: belly button.

Don’t wash your belly button to avoid getting sick. Don’t believe it easily. The more dirt accumulates, the easier it is for bacteria to breed!

How to wash?

1. The navel is connected to the internal organs of the body and is a relatively delicate area. When taking a shower every day, just put your fingers on a towel and gently clean it. It is not recommended to use excessive force.

2. If there is dark dirt on your belly button, wash it gently every day. Do not rub it hard. After a few days, it will become white and tender again.

Blind spot 6: knees.

Think about how embarrassing it would be when you wear the most popular mini skirt in autumn and winter, but your dark, dirty and rough knees are exposed?

How to wash?

1. Knees, like elbows, are prone to having thicker cuticles due to friction, so you should rub them more often when taking a shower.

2. Exfoliate once a week and then apply moisturizing lotion.

Blind spot 7: heel and toe gap.

The heels and toes are the most easily neglected areas. Many people often wash from head to toe, but forget to scrub the heels and between the toes, which causes thick calluses on the heels and mold between the toes, causing athlete's foot.

How to wash?

1. When taking a shower, use a scrub stone to gently remove the dead skin on your heels and toes, and then apply lotion. Do this about once every 4-5 days to avoid excessive exfoliation that may break your skin!

2. Scrub each toe gap with a bath towel and wipe it dry thoroughly to avoid mold growth due to moisture.
