12 Mistakes You Make In The Shower That Can Affect Your Health
It is believed that an average person spends 1.5 long years in their entire life standing under the shower. Longer shower sessions give us time to ourselves. Half a year is spent in scrubbing ourselves – just goes on to show how much it matters for us to adhere to cleanliness. It feels like a space of our own for the period of the shower. Even then, there are certain things about showers that most of us tend to ignore.
Here are a few things to keep in mind the next time you take showers in order to optimize the enjoyment:
1. Shower after you work out
When we work out, there is a stench in our perspiration due to the presence of microbes on our skin. These microbes need to be scrubbed off the skin in order to avoid skin allergies and rashes. So, take a shower as soon after a workout as you possibly can.
2. Don’t get a pedicure after shaving
We often tend to shave our legs first and then get the pedicure done. This practice can lead to the small scratches on our feet to get diseased.
3. Take contrasted showers
Once you’re almost done taking the shower, conclude the session by turning on the shower fully. The pressure from the shower will even out your body pressure, and help strengthen your framework. However, showers before sleeping can sometimes be not so conducive to our sleeping cycles.
4. Bathing every day
Taking a shower and washing your hair on a daily basis can lead to drying of skin and thinning of hair. To avoid a flaky skin and scalp, make sure you’re not scrubbing yourself every day.
5. Don’t wrap your towel around your hair
Wet hair is precariously prone to breakage and falling. The wetness being trapped makes the hair look a lot less clean and fresh.
6. Regularly clean the shower head
