Learn How to Shower To Keep Your Skin Healthy Fashion & Cosmetics

Everyday you wash, shave, shampoo, clip your nails, wash, and dry your hair. Personal grooming, for most people, is a series of well-entrenched habits. And in most cases it is over done. Would you be willing to change your routine if doing so made your skin look more attractive and created a better-looking you?

Most adults whom are over thirty commit one big mistake when it comes to washing: The do too much of it. They shower in the morning, another after the gym, maybe even one before bedtime.

If you spend twelve minutes in the shower, that's too long. Cut your time in the shower to five minutes for your skin's sake.

Too much washing results not just in cleanliness but in removingtoo much oil from your skin, and itchy and irritated skin, particularly in the winter months.

If you are using a shower without a water filter and with the steam build up, you are subjecting yourself and your skin toexcess chlorine.

Below are bathing tips that you can benefit from:
1. Avoid using a washcloth on delicate areas, especially themucous membranes. Do use a soft sponge to massage your skin. Use a glycerine soap and sponge and move in one direction toward your heart.

2. Use medium-warm water in the shower, the cooler the better,but not too cold.

3. If you have normal to dry skin, use Dove Unscented or Basisfor Sensitive Skin on your body and either a soap free cleanseror nothing at all on mucous membranes. Do use many of thecommercial bar soap, since they are harsh on the skin.

4. If you tend to have oily skin, then use good gylcerine soap. I use this type of soap and it removes just enough oil withoutdrying my skin.

5. Skip a shower as often as you can. This may not seem likeappealing advice but the more time you have in between showers the better. Skip a shower for a whole day once or twice a week, especially in the winter. Allow your skin to produce and maintain its natural oils. Or if this does not appeal to you, make yourshower extra short on some days.

6. Make sure you use shampoos that contain mostly natural ingredients. A lot of commercial products contain synthetic chemicals, petrochemicals, and various dyes and artificialcoloring. All of these un-natural chemicals are extremely badfor you health. Learn which chemicals to avoid.

So that you can improve the health of your skin, takes some timeto look over your shower habits, Decrease the time in your shower, use a water filter to remove toxins from the water, massage your skin, and use only natural products for your skinand hair.
