1. Try not to take a bath too late at night.
Take a bath in the morning, don't use cold water. Because the sun rises in the morning, it is also the time when the human yang rises. Once you take a bath with cold water, it will hurt the yang. It should not be too late to take a bath at night, because at night, the yang is in the internal organs and the body surface lacks protection. At this time, taking a bath will make moisture easily enter the body, causing the body to be wet.
Some people worry that the intensity of work during the day is so great that they can't even take a shower at night. Actually, there is no need to worry. Bathing at night is limited to nine o'clock, as long as you try to wash before nine o'clock.
2, bathing at 25 C in summer is the most suitable.
It is reasonable to use water around 40℃ in winter and 25℃ in summer. Overheated water will destroy the oil on the skin surface, expand the capillaries and accelerate the drying and aging of the skin.
There is also a saying that taking a bath with cold water is good for your skin and body, but not for everyone.
3. The frequency of bathing varies from person to person.
The body has metabolism every day, so theoretically it can take a bath every day. But everyone's skin condition is different, depending on the situation.
The best way is to judge according to your feelings. For example, if you feel dry and itchy after taking a bath once a day, you should reduce the number of baths.
4, shower time 15 minutes is more reasonable.
When to take a bath, there is no specific rule in science. Usually according to your own preferences. But in general, the bath time should not be too long to avoid syncope. In general, it is reasonable to control the shower time within 15 minutes, but the shower time should not exceed 30 minutes.
5, wash your face first, then wash your body, then wash your hair.
When taking a bath, as the temperature rises, the pores will gradually open. If you finally wash your face, the dirt accumulated in a day will take the opportunity to get into your face, and acne may find you. Finally, wash your hair, because it can make your hair get good moisture in the steam.
When can't I take a shower?
1, it is not advisable to take a bath before going to bed.
Many people are used to going to bed immediately after taking a hot bath. Actually, this is an incorrect habit. It is best to take a bath 2 hours before going to bed. Sleep often comes after the body temperature drops. A hot bath will raise the body temperature and delay the release of "sleep hormones" from the brain. If you can only take a bath before going to bed one day, you can use a wet towel to cold compress your forehead for 5 minutes after bathing, so that your body temperature can drop to normal level and you can fall asleep as soon as possible.
It is not advisable to take a bath after drinking.
Alcohol can inhibit liver function and hinder the release of glycogen. When taking a bath, the glucose consumption in the human body will increase. If you take a bath after drinking, your blood sugar can't be replenished in time, and you are prone to dizziness, general weakness, and even hypoglycemia coma in severe cases.
In addition, because people sweat when taking a bath, the concentration of alcohol in the blood is high. Hot water promotes blood circulation, dilates blood vessels and speeds up pulse beating, which often leads to a drop in blood pressure and an increase in blood viscosity, making it difficult for the body to adapt, thus causing heart disease or stroke.
3. It is not advisable to take a bath after a full meal.
Taking a bath after a full meal, the blood vessels on the skin surface of the whole body are stimulated by hot water to expand, more blood flows to the body surface, and the blood supply in the abdominal cavity is relatively reduced, which will affect digestion and absorption, cause hypoglycemia, and even collapse and faint. It is best to take a bath one or two hours after meals, and you can choose the bathing time according to your own physique. For example, elderly people with weak constitution can choose to take a bath at noon when the sun is strongest, so that they can achieve complementary effects and are not easy to get sick.
4. It is not advisable to take a bath immediately after delivery.
No matter after physical or mental work, you should take a rest before taking a bath, otherwise it will easily lead to insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain and even fainting.
5. Don't take a bath for one hour before and after massage.
Massage can not only relieve fatigue and tension, but also relax muscles and tendons and refresh the mind. However, many friends who often massage ignore a question, that is, take a bath before massage or after massage?
People who like to take a bath before massage think it is convenient and quick to rest immediately after massage; People who take a bath immediately after massage think it is safer and healthier. In fact, these two methods are not desirable, because whether you are doing essential oil massage or aromatherapy SPA, the masseur uses nourishing or catharsis, and you can't take a bath for an hour before and after massage.
When people take a bath, hot water shower on the skin will accelerate the blood circulation on the body surface, leading to congestion on the body surface. Massage is a kind of "doing work" exercise that acts on the outside of human body surface, and it can also lead to congestion of human skin and accelerate blood circulation. Therefore, once massage is performed immediately after bathing, the stomach and brain of the body will be relatively hypoxic due to the dual effects of bathing and massage, and it is easy to collapse or syncope.
Similarly, when people massage, qi and blood will fill the body surface in a short time, which will also make the whole body organs relatively ischemic and anoxic, causing dizziness, nausea and other discomfort, and even syncope. In addition, when people massage, qi and blood converge on the body surface and the pores open. They take off their clothes and take a shower immediately, which is very easy to catch a cold. Therefore, after the massage, you should take a short rest (1-2 hours) in a warm and comfortable environment, so that your body can return to normal state, and then do other activities.
