What happens to the body after many baths?
Scientifically, the advice is to take only one shower a day, since the repeated action in a short period of time can affect the health of the skin, hair and even the reproductive system. In addition, there may be an increase in the water and electricity bill at the end of the month. Check out the consequences of taking several baths a day on the body.
- hair health
Washing your hair more than once a day can make it greasy and lose nutrients. This is because the products we use to wash our hair cause it to dry out, and as a solution, the scalp produces a greater amount of sebum.
- The consequences on the skin
Another point regarding the exaggeration of daily baths is the health of the skin. Although it seems contradictory, hot water and soap in excess end up eliminating healthy bacteria and natural oils present on the surface of the dermis, drying out and causing itchiness.
- Problems with the reproductive organs
In addition to all these implications, bathing several times a day can also affect the health of the reproductive organs, both male and female.
Thus, what happens is that this region of the body has a self-cleaning characteristic and the recurrent use of soaps and other cosmetics can disrupt the pH of that body part. The bacterial imbalance of the reproductive system generates local irritation, itching and wounds. With that, the ideal is to use neutral products.
