A few tips to make bathing healthier

Steps/methods

Time should not exceed 10 minute. Bathing under the shower head is probably a pleasure, but after a long time, a lot of water may wash off too much oil on the skin, which may easily cause dry skin. A five-to ten-minute shower can effectively clean and retain skin moisture.

Turn down the temperature of the bathtub. It sounds tempting to steam in the shower, but for your skin and health, you'd better lower the water temperature properly. Taking a hot bath is more harmful to the skin than taking a warm bath. Especially in winter, outdoor humidity is low, indoor temperature is high and air is dry. If the water temperature is too high, it will increase the risk of itchy and dry skin. The suitable temperature is about 38℃. Another reason for lowering the bath temperature is that bathing with overheated water will lead to a drop in blood pressure, which will lead to dizziness and the danger of falling.

Take a cold bath. Want to boost your mood? Try taking a cold bath. Facts have proved that taking a cold bath can temporarily relieve depression and even help to lose weight. Studies have found that exposure to low temperature can activate the brown fat reserve of human combustion heat.

Eliminate beneficial bacteria on the body surface. Taking a bath every day may destroy the beneficial bacteria on the body surface, wash away a few healthy oils on the body surface, cause dry skin and even cause skin infection, so it is not necessary to take a bath every day unless you sweat a lot in summer.

Keep the shower environment clean. Mold that causes allergies and asthma can easily breed in warm and humid places, such as showers and bathtubs. Please turn on the exhaust fan in the bathroom in time during and after the shower. Clean up the accumulated water on the walls and floors with a rubber scraper, and then leave the shower curtain or shower door open to let the moisture escape. Clean tiles and shower heads frequently. If mold appears in the shower curtain, please deal with it in time and replace it.

It is safe to take a bath. Many people think that home is the safest place, but they don't know that the family bathroom is full of crises, and it is easy to get hurt when it is used carelessly. Slipping and scalding are the main causes of injuries in the bathroom. According to relevant statistics, about one-third of toilet accidents occur in the shower or bath. You can use non-slip mats, non-slip towels, and install bath handrails to effectively prevent falling.
