10 mistakes which we make every day, taking a shower

We perform this ritual every day, and even several times in day. But not all take a shower correctly. Often simple procedure can turn into pernicious for body skin. Learn what mistakes it is better not to make if you want to have beautiful and young skin.

Mistake 1. Not to remove make-up before a shower.

After intense day of souls or the bathtub becomes the real rescue. And as it is pleasant to be refreshed directly on arrival home! But do not hurry! At first it is necessary to remove a make-up from a face with special means. The big mistake – to rely on shower gel and warm water. Means for a shower are most often not intended for make-up products, they will not cope with decorative cosmetics for all 100%, especially with waterproof ink and the liner. On the contrary, the remains of a make-up will get to the skin pores opened from warm water, and the person will not be clean.

Therefore do not take a shower in a make-up. The exception is made by cases if your shower gel is intended also for makeup removal.


Mistake 2. To wash a face only before washing hair.

Ingredients which enter shampoos and hair conditioners can influence face skin. They get into skin pores, causing irritations and even pimples. Therefore you make a mistake if you do not clean a face and after washing of the head. If you have sensitive skin or inclined to pimples, surely wash out a face completely after use of shampoo and conditioner.

Mistake 3. A shower with hot water.

Hot water deprives moisture content skin, results in dryness and peeling. The matter is that hot water deletes natural oils from the surface of skin stronger (just as when washing ware hot water deletes fat better). Ideally, water for a shower has to be more warmish, than body temperature.


Even at a contrast shower, you do not use very hot water, for effect of rather warm water. And if you want to be warmed, then you can intensively massage before a shower skin a dry brush or a bast.

Mistake 4. Insufficient peeling.

We often forget that skin needs regular peeling. If on a face the lack of a peeling is noticeable at once, then on body skin it practically is not shown in any way, - therefore about skin exfoliation of a body we often forget, being content with shower gel. Take for the rule to use a bast, or buy shower gel with the peeling effect – then you should not spend time for an additional peeling and to worry on the fact that you once again about it forgot.

Mistake 5. Excessive peeling.

Excessive interest in peeling is also undesirable, as well as an insufficient peeling. An exit is in picking up an optimum individual way of peeling. For each type of skin it has to be the method. If after this procedure on skin long there is a reddening, skin grows coarse – you should find softer way of a peeling, for example, by means of acids, but not abrasive means.


Mistake 6. Too long shower.

Optimum time for stay in soul – up to 15 minutes. Everything that exceeds this time, works the same as hot water, that is dries skin.

Mistake 7. It is too much detergent.

It is wrong to think that the bigger amount of foam and detergent purifies skin better. On the contrary, a large amount of soap deprives skin of natural oils, completely removes a natural protective barrier to skin. You have enough drop of the size of a big coin to distribute on skin and to clean it from pollution and surplus of skin fat.


Mistake 8. Use of too flavored soap.

At the end of the intense day so there is a wish to enjoy odorous soap, and in the mornings there is a need for bright aromas and the deodorizing effect of detergent too. However do not test skin it products. For aroma it is better to use toilet water or spirits, and in soul choose less perfumed means. All means for a shower with very bright and powerful aroma are drying skin. And this council is especially relevant for age skin as with age skin becomes thinner and loses own fatty barrier layer. The moisturizing detergent or the soap which are containing oils or creams and not having strong aroma can become the best decision for any skin. For example, such as means from Dove.

Mistake 9. Too aggressive ingredients as a part of soap.

If you want to keep skin humidified and soft, you show consideration for purchase of soap or shower gel. There are those ingredients which are better for avoiding or minimizing: parabens, fragrances, triklozan, synthetic dyes, formaldehyde, sodium laurylsulphate / are laurt by sodium sulfate.


Mistake 10. Not to moisturize the skin right after a shower.

Dermatologists insistently advise to remember the simple rule of three minutes. This time is given you on moisturizing the skin on end of a shower. It will not allow skin to lose precious moisture which remained on it after a shower and to send it to deeper layers of an integument.

Having left a shower, blot skin, but not to it is dry, leave water droplets on skin. Then at once apply the moisturizing body cream to skin, it will deliver moisture in skin and will keep some quantity on a surface for the subsequent moistening during the day (or nights).


So and the shower is well! If it is correct to do everything, it will keep skin clean, elastic and humidified!
