Physical activity and the environment: adapt yourself
Do you play sports regularly? Do you work outdoors or in a dusty environment? In that case, a daily shower is strongly recommended, especially to remove sweat and impurities , and prevent skin irritations.
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 washes to avoid dehydration and itching .
How to shower intelligently?
It’s not just a question of frequency. The way you shower also influences your skin’s comfort.
Opt for lukewarm water : too hot, it damages the skin’s protective hydrolipidic film.
Use fragrance-free products : they are gentler and less irritating.
Wash only the necessary areas with soap : armpits, groin folds, feet, and possibly the face. The rest of the body can simply be rinsed with clean water.
Limit the duration : an effective shower should not exceed ten minutes .
The “three zones” method: simple and effective
According to Canadian dermatologist Dr. Sandy Skotnicki, it’s not necessary to wash your entire body with soap every time you shower. She recommends a targeted routine: “Wash only your armpits, groin, and feet .” This is sufficient for good hygiene without irritating the skin.
