What is the healthiest way to take a bath?
Take an orderly bath-wash your face first, then wash your hair after taking a shower.

When you enter the shower room, when the hot water is turned on, it will produce hot air, and the pores of the human body will expand when heated. Therefore, if you don't wash your face first at this time, you will sneak into the pores when the pore door is opened. Over time, your pores will be squeezed bigger and bigger by these dirty things, occupying the territory that should not belong to them, and more and more acne will appear on your face, but don't believe what others say to you, "youthful and beautiful acne." Hair is moistened in steam, and when the whole body is washed, the best time to wash your hair is here.

Take a bath, don't rub it.

There is an acidic protective film and stratum corneum formed by sebaceous glands, sweat gland secretions and exfoliated epithelial cells on the surface of normal skin, which is only 0. 1 mm thick and weakly acidic, but it is the first line of defense to prevent germs and harmful rays from invading the human body. This layer of "dead skin" is replaced slowly, and the fastest one takes ten days. If you rub your skin repeatedly with a towel in the bath, it will easily damage your skin, make the cuticle fall off too much, make your skin dry and even itchy, and bacteria and harmful rays will take advantage of it, making people prone to skin diseases such as folliculitis and boils.

Three main points of clean body for pregnant women

After a woman is pregnant, a series of physiological changes have taken place in various tissues and systems of the body. Skin dander increases, sweat glands and sebaceous glands are also vigorous, so pregnant women must also pay attention to skin hygiene. Pregnant women should pay attention to the following aspects when cleaning their bodies:

Take a bath and pay attention to three appropriateness.

(1) The frequency is appropriate. It is very hot in summer, so you should take a bath at least twice a day. The climate in spring and autumn is pleasant, one week is good 1 ~ 2 times; In the cold winter, every two weeks 1 time is enough.

(2) The timing is right. It is not advisable to take a bath when you are hungry or after eating 1 hour. The water temperature is suitable. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the bath water temperature should be close to the body temperature (27℃ ~ 35℃). Skin irritation caused by supercooled or overheated water will affect the blood distribution of pregnant women, which is not conducive to maternal health and fetal development.

Moreover, pregnant women are bulky, it is inconvenient to get in and out of the bathtub and bathtub, and it is easy to slip and hit the abdomen.

Clearing yin is three things.

Pregnant women should also regularly clean the local skin of vulva. This is because the vulva of pregnant women has undergone obvious changes, the skin is softer, and the secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands is more vigorous than other parts of the body surface. At the same time, due to the increased permeability of vaginal epithelial cells, the secretion of cervical glands increased and leucorrhea increased greatly. But when cleaning locally, you must pay attention to several "no's": (1) Don't burn yourself with hot water. (2) Don't wash with alkaline soap. (3) Do not clean with potassium permanganate solution.

Enhance male sexual function

Bathing is the most relaxing time for people's body and mind, but if we can take advantage of this opportunity, alternating hot and cold baths or warm showers on penis and groin will help to enhance men's sexual function.

Alternating hot and cold bath is an ancient exercise method to enhance male sexual function. The specific method is to soak the body in warm water in the bathtub first, then come out of the bathtub after it is fully warmed, apply cold water to the vagina for about 3 minutes, and then enter the bathtub after the penis and scrotum contract, and repeat this for 3-5 times. If you can insist on alternating hot and cold baths every day, you can make men after middle age full of energy, enhance their sexual function and feel less tired. If you shower alternately with hot and cold water, the effect will not change.

When taking a bath, if you can pour warm water around the penis root with a shower head, it will also have a good effect on restoring the "energy" of the testicles. Because the erection of the penis makes the ligaments and nerves supporting the penis quite tired, and the longer the erection time, the more serious the fatigue. Warm water stimulation can accelerate blood circulation and restore fatigue of testis and penis as soon as possible. Moreover, the shower is different from soaking in the bathtub, and the shower can produce concentrated heating stimulation on local acupuncture points. Of course, the water pressure in the shower is better.

Not only the penis root, but also the groin inside the thigh root is an important stimulation site. Because the groin is the "communicating artery" that transports blood and nerves to the testicles, the blood circulation in the groin is very important for male sexual function. Stimulating the groin with warm water in the shower and stroking the groin with two fingers from top to bottom are also very beneficial to enhancing male sexual function.

In addition, there are some important acupoints in the lower abdomen, such as Guanyuan and Qihai. Stimulation with warm water can also enhance sexual function.
