How many minutes do you usually spend in the bathroom? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? 20 minutes? Or more Is it appropriate when we take a shower, brush our teeth, and wash my hair? If we spend a little time Or too much How will it affect the body?
The right time to take a shower
The U.S. Department of Disease Control, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), states that the optimal time to shower is 5-10 minutes. Showering faster than five minutes does not have much of a negative effect on your body if you are certain. The shower is clean, but actually, 5 minutes may be too fast for accidentally being washed with soap. Or shower cream for cleaning the body from head to toe Therefore, the risk of showering is not clean So if taking a shower for 5-10 minutes is the right time to cleanse your body, not too fast or too slow.
Taking a shower for more than 10 minutes may result in our skin losing its natural moisture from scrubbing. Or use soap / bathe on the skin for too long And if anyone has a problem with allergic rashes on the skin It is recommended to take a bath with warm water.
If your skin feels dry after showering, use a lotion or cream after shower.
We can take a shower as often as we want. But bathing too often or more than 4-5 times a day may cause the skin to lose too much moisture. And result in dry skin as well
