What better feeling than sliding under hot water from our shower after a long day in the cold. This moment, when, accompanied by our best playlist, we no longer think of anything and we even allow ourselves to sing to a sold-out crowd. However, as relaxing as the shower is, there are some good rules to follow for our health. If the choice of temperature is the first, the duration of the shower should not be overlooked. According to dermatologists, there is a certain amount of time that should not be exceeded for the good of our skin. We reveal to you, how long our shower should last according to them.
The shower should not last too long. Already for an ecological question, but also for the well-being of our organism. According to many dermatologists, you should stay between 5 and 15 minutes in the shower, no more ! Just enough time to soap up, rinse, possibly wash your hair... In fact, as soon as your hands start to wrinkle, it's time to get out of the water.
We must admit that it is difficult to tell ourselves that a shower can be bad for our health, and yet. By staying too long in the shower, we risk unbalancing our skin's natural defense mechanisms , but also to remove the oil naturally present on the skin. Potentially causing irritation, skin lesions and promoting the proliferation of bacteria .
