Don't try the following bath mistakes.
Bathing is the most basic means to eliminate skin dirt and keep skin healthy. Regular bathing can not only wash away dirt, secretions and dandruff on the skin surface, but also improve the blood circulation of skin and muscles, and play a role in eliminating fatigue and bodybuilding.
However, if the bathing method is improper, it will also cause diseases or aggravate the original skin diseases. The following are some points to pay attention to when taking a bath.
1, long bath in hot water.
Many people, especially middle-aged and elderly people, like to take a hot bath or even soak in the bathtub for a long time. Do you know that this is unscientific and even dangerous? When the water temperature is too high, the skin and muscle blood vessels dilate, blood accumulates all over the body, and the blood supply to the brain and heart decreases. In addition, sweating will lose body fluids, which will easily lead to fainting and even heart attack. In addition, long-term hot water bath will also lead to premature aging of the skin, which is not conducive to skin fitness. Therefore, bathing with warm water should not be too long.
2. Use a bath towel.
Now, more and more people give up the original ordinary towel and use the rubbing towel. However, scientific investigation shows that nylon bath towel is not beneficial to skin health except for convenience. First of all, the hard and rough surface of the bath towel directly damages the skin, so that the cuticle is worn off too much and the protective effect is weakened.
Secondly, using bath towels can also spread some skin infections. Molluscum contagiosum is a typical example. Infectious molluscum, commonly known as boils, is a common skin infectious disease caused by infectious molluscum virus. The normal skin surface has an acidic protective film formed by sebaceous glands and sweat glands secretion, and the cuticle is protected, so that the virus cannot invade. When the protective effect of the skin is weakened or slightly defective, the virus will drill into the skin and cause itchy papules. There are viruses in these papules. Once scratched or rubbed, the virus will spread and cause more rashes. According to the survey, people who use bath towels are 4- 10 times more likely to suffer from this disease than those who don't. Especially rubbing towels with others is more likely to cause infection. Frequent use of rubbing towels can easily lead to skin diseases such as boils and impetigo. Therefore, many doctors call on people to use nylon face towels carefully or not. Even if they do, they shouldn't rub it hard, let alone use a towel for the whole family.
3. Too many baths
With the improvement of living standards and living conditions, many families have toilets. Some people think that the cleaner you wash, the better for your health. So take a bath every 1-2 days or even several times a day, and scrub with soap and soap. In this way, some people's skin is dry and itchy, and some people's skin loses its luster, even desquamation and cracking. In fact, the number of baths is not as much as possible, because bathing and body cleaners eliminate the sebum membrane with moisturizing and protective effects on the skin surface, making the skin dry. Fragments and cracks appear. In this way, the skin is vulnerable to the invasion of microorganisms such as bacteria. Some middle-aged and elderly people have dry and itchy skin, but they think it is caused by unclean skin. They wash with hot water or even salt water every day to stimulate nerve endings of the skin and aggravate itching. Therefore, dermatologists believe that bathing should not be excessive, and washing once in winter 1 week is enough; Even in hot summer, when sweating a lot, only one thing is advocated: washing in the middle and washing away sweat stains. For people with dry skin, bathing should not be washed with alkaline soap or soap; Patients with eczema, dermatitis and itchy skin should not take too many baths.
