It often happens that you get out of the shower and immediately feel that your skin is "tight", cautious or has unsightly redness. Many think that the cause is simply the water being too hot or the season, but in most cases the responsibility lies in the cleansing routine.
Traditional cleaners tend to be too degreasing, removing not only dirt, but also natural hydrolipidic film which protects the skin.
Here are the 4 most common mistakes we make in the shower and how to transform daily cleansing into a real skin treatment gesture.
1. Use detergents with aggressive surfactants
Foam is not synonymous with cleanliness. Most commercial shower gels contain very aggressive synthetic surfactants that alter the skin's pH and deprive the skin of its natural hydration.
-
The solution: Choose cleansers formulated with delicate cleansing bases and nourishing functional ingredients, capable of cleansing by affinity without stripping the skin barrier.
2. Too hot and prolonged showers
High temperature water dissolves the skin's natural lipids, accelerating dehydration and promoting the appearance of redness or flaking, especially on the legs and arms.
-
The solution: Keep the water temperature lukewarm and limit shower time to 5-10 minutes.
3. Ignore skin pH
The pH of our skin is slightly acidic (around 5.5). Using soaps with the wrong pH unbalances the skin microbiome, making the skin more vulnerable to external agents, bacteria and chronic dryness.
-
The solution: Focus on natural ingredients with a strong skin affinity, such as organic goat's milk, which boasts a pH naturally similar to that of the skin.
4. Rub with the towel
Rubbing your skin vigorously with the bath towel after a shower generates mechanical friction which further irritates the already sensitive skin.
-
The solution: Gently pat your body dry with a soft cotton towel, leaving your skin slightly damp before applying moisturizer.
