Physical Activity and Environment: Adapt Your Shower
Do you play sports regularly? Do you work outdoors or in a dusty environment? In that case, a daily shower is highly recommended, especially to remove sweat and impurities, and prevent skin irritation.
The seasons also play a role: in summer, the heat and perspiration sometimes make frequent showers necessary. In winter, on the other hand, the cold, dry air can weaken the skin. It is then preferable to space out your showers to avoid dehydration and itching.
How to Shower Smartly?
It’s not just a question of frequency. The way you shower also influences your skin’s comfort.
Opt for lukewarm water: too hot, and it damages the skin’s protective hydrolipidic film.
Use fragrance-free products: they are gentler and less irritating.
Lather only the necessary areas: armpits, groin folds, feet, and possibly the face. The rest of the body can simply be rinsed with clean water.
