Bad Habits You Should Stop Doing While Taking Shower

When it comes to looking after your body, we keep learning every day. it is always good to do things the right and proper way.

washing your body properly is an expect that was not thought or known by everybody. Below are some guild lines that is necessary to follow.

Over-Use Loofahs: If you’re a loofah lover, you’ll want to know what Glot has to say about these unusual sponges, “They are great for exfoliating but loofahs are also loaded with germs.” Glot advises, “Don’t over use your loofahs.”

Use A Scrub In The Shower Stream: It’s super frustrating when you lather up your hands with a scrub and just when you’re ready to start applying it to your bod, it washes off your hands and runs down the drain. Glot says, “Don’t use a scrub in the stream of a shower: Water runs on the face [and] body and washes [the] scrub away before anything beneficial can happen.”

Use Oily Products In The Shower: Although this may seem like common sense, it’s something you might end up doing once, then never repeating again, due to injuring yourself. Glot says, “Don’t use an oily product in the shower. It make the floor dangerously slippery.” Don’t bother with oily products if you want to avoid potential accidents, because slipping in the shower can lead to disastrous consequences.

Use Piping Hot Water: I spoke with Stalina Glot, a Senior Aesthetician at Haven Spa NYC, about things you should never do in the shower. Glot says not to take hot showers, due to the fact that they remove too many of your natural oils.

Dr. Hadley King, dermatologist at NYC’s SKINNEY Medspa, also tells me over email, “Water that is too hot can strip the skin of its natural oils and hydration and leave the skin too dry.” Instead she recommends people to, “Use water that is warm instead of hot.”

Put Shampoo On Partially Wet Hair: When it comes to hair care in the shower, Judy McGuinness, Senior Stylist at Mizu New York, has some helpful advice. McGuinness tells me over email, “Make sure your hair is fully drenched in water before lathering up! If your hair isn’t completely wet, the shampoo won’t lather properly, and you’ll end up using more than you need…” She elaborates, “This is especially important for sulfate-free shampoo, as there isn’t any detergent in the formula to help it foam up.”

Shower For Too Long: It can be more than tempting to stay in the shower for just a few extra minutes, especially when it’s cold outside. However, Glot warns that you shouldn’t shower for too long, as it can make your skin dry and itchy. Dr. King seconds this, saying, “Don’t shower more than once per day or for more than 8 minutes at a time.” As someone who adores long showers, I feel your pain, but quick showers are better for your skin.

Shave Your Legs On The Day Of A Pedicure: Dr. King tells me, “Don’t shave your legs when you shower on a day you are going to go for a pedicure.” She explains, “It increases the risk of infection.” If you’re a lady who likes to have silky pins, make sure you shave at least the day before your pedicure appointment, so you don’t put yourself at risk of infection.

So keep your hair and skin in tip-top condition, and stay safe in the shower with this expert advice!.
