Why the body wash?

Daily personal hygiene is essential to maintain the health of the skin and nourish it enough so that it can resist and reject bacteria and other infections. 

Body washing should be done daily, but be careful with what is known as "excessive hygiene," which is explained by the excessive use of bath products and gels that can dry out your skin and scalp, in the case of hair washing, preventing the development of good bacteria that can protect us from infections.

Main benefits of body washing

• We keep the skin hydrated.
• We protect the skin against infections and other diseases.
• The skin rests and recovers from the external factors to which it is exposed daily
• We prevent the signs of aging so that the skin looks elastic and hydrated

Body Wash Tips

While excessive body washing may not be beneficial to the natural bacterial flora of our skin, personal hygiene is essential to keep our skin hydrated, elastic, and healthy-looking.

 

If you exercise regularly or work outside the home, washing your body is essential to allow your skin to rest and remove dead cells and impurities.

We give you some tips to make washing your body a healthy, but also relaxing and revitalizing experience.

Don't wash your body for too long

We all enjoy a hot, relaxing shower after a long day at work. While it's a moment of the day we can truly savor, washing your body for more than 20 minutes can be counterproductive, considering that excessive water can irritate and dry out your skin.

The reason is that the oil from the sebaceous glands has the function of moisturizing the skin and washing for too long removes this property.

For washing your body, opt for short showers and avoid high temperatures.

Choose the right products for body wash

Body washing requires products that are good for your skin, with natural ingredients and formulated for your skin type or suitable for all skin types without putting it at risk of allergies or other effects.

Choosing the best shower gel is essential for effective and beneficial body washing for the skin.

Keep in mind:

• Choose bath gels specially formulated for body washing.
• Opt for products free of sulfate and parabens and with natural ingredients that offer greater benefits for the skin.
• Do not use the bath gel in intimate areas.
• Try products with an exfoliating effect that nourish your skin and cleanse it thoroughly.

Don't wash your face with your shower gel

Facial skin and body skin are different. Don't use body wash on your face. Use products specifically formulated to cleanse and nourish your face.

Also, do not use the bath gel in intimate areas, as it can cause irritation and other care conditions.

be careful with sponges

Opt for body washing using your hands to apply the bath gel and gently massage your body while the active ingredients take effect.

If you use sponges or other products, try to keep them in a very good state of hygiene to prevent bacteria, fungi and mold that can harm your skin. Change these types of products at least once a month. 

Body wash is not the same as washing your hair

Washing your body requires a specific product such as shower gel, while washing your hair requires using a shampoo and conditioner formulated for your hair type and with properties to nourish your hair with each wash.
