It would seem that the answer is simple - as needed. However, the issue of water treatment rate went up so often, and even contradictory advice (and in each material, "experts advise") is added to enhance the trust that the reader is completely confused.
Some advised to wash every day, the sellers of dry shampoo and wipes argue that you can do a few days without a shower. The third party is advised to wash every other day.
So where is the truth?
Wash in a day or two came from European countries. And here is not so much emphasis on the harmful frequency of water treatments for the skin, as high tariffs on utility services.
Splash around in the bathroom every day, wash the dishes under a powerful jet of warm water (not accumulating it in the sink during the day) - it is a pleasure for the average in our country pay 300 rubles per month. For other countries like the use of hot water - a luxury. So use the same dry shampoo for daily care will be superfluous for us.
Now let's talk about the harm of frequent washing and hot shower. To me at least once a month will fall article or collection of tips obscure and anonymous experts, where the bath or shower make almost the most harmful procedure.
Argument is so antiquated that I have a question arises: "For whom hell is so much information about the care? For anyone at all come up with oil, soap without lye, gels without aggressive surfactants? What people vtaldychivayut mind about pH or already almost on the fingers explains how we arranged the lipid barrier?".
Seriously, these articles remind me of this scene: when among a rich selection of shampoos people go for rice flour, because someone in the media praised this ancient care. It is strange, why people have not yet abandoned the laptops and smartphones in favor of the telegraph, pigeons and gramophone ?!
The fact that because of the frequent showering the skin becomes dry and inflamed - irrelevant information. Moisturizing cream and oil cover this problem in the bud: cream - moisturizing, oil - prevents moisture to evaporate and "feeds" our lipid barrier essential fatty acids. Those who have sensitive skin - those in the know. Those who have normal skin - quite the cheapest moisturizer, and no problems.
Let's go further. Scare in the media that because of frequent washing, we wash off useful microbiota. The strongest microbiota in our bodies - in the intestine. But if it will be a problem, they will affect the skin, I have long been written about it. So that malnutrition and without a hot shower will throw challenges to the skin. Anyway, the coexistence of dirt and harmful bacteria with beneficial microbiota of the skin - a dubious alignment, no, thank you, it is better be clean and without useful skin microbiota, which can also be restored through cosmetics (we have that, nourishing creams few?).
So, how often we can be washed without any problems for the skin?
Yes as you want (I do not believe that there are people who, for 4-5 times a day to wash, where they have so much time?). The main thing - keep in mind the following:
1. After training in the hall, yoga jogging or long walks should immediately wash. Otherwise the sweat will score the pores and pimples and inflammation hello.
2. If you live in a humid climate (such as I in Kaliningrad), the bacteria will multiply rapidly, they love a moist environment. In this case, it is necessary to wash twice a day. By the way, the smell of sweat - a signal that the bacteria on your skin is already well settled and actively dividing.
3. During sleep, the body spends on recovery processes energy, and sebaceous glands of the skin are also working. So in the morning anyway, but we do not wake up in the net.
4. Learn the composition of the water in your home. You can request information from local government or water utility of the mineral composition of the water. And do not be afraid of the presence in it of certain ions (the composition of the water is very well painted here, Though there it is about the taste quality of the beer, but still can be learned for myself useful).
And how often do you take a shower? Believe that damage the skin due to frequent washing? Share your opinion in the comments.
Put a "thumbs up" if you want more interesting materials for self-care and skin of the face!
