If you don't take a bath, you are prone to armpit odor. Pay attention to these three points when taking a bath frequently.

In our lives, taking a bath can help us remove dust from our bodies and make ourselves healthier. Therefore, not taking a bath is harmful to the human body, and body odor is one of the most common conditions. Generally speaking, when taking a bath, the following three points also need everyone's attention.

1. Do not take a long bath in hot water

Middle-aged and elderly people like to take hot baths, and even soak in the bathtub for a long time. When the water temperature is too high, the blood vessels in the skin and muscles dilate, blood accumulates throughout the body, the amount of blood returning to the heart decreases, and the blood supply to the brain and heart decreases. In addition, sweating causes excessive loss of body fluids, which can easily cause fainting or even a heart attack. Long-term hot water baths can also cause premature aging of the skin, which is not conducive to skin health.

2. Use bath towels as little as possible

More and more people are using bath towels. Apart from being convenient, nylon bath towels have little benefit to skin health. The hard and rough surface of the bath towel directly damages the skin, causing the keratinized layer of the epidermis to fall off due to excessive rubbing, thus weakening the protective effect.

Using bath towels can also spread some skin infections. Infectious soft warts is a typical example. Infectious soft warts, commonly known as water warts, are a common skin infection caused by infectious soft warts virus. The surface of normal skin has an acidic protective film formed by the secretions of sebaceous glands and sweat glands, as well as the protection of the stratum corneum, which prevents viruses from invading. Especially when sharing bath towels with others, the chance of infection is greater. Frequent use of bath towels can also easily cause skin diseases such as rashes, pustules, and abscesses. People are urged to use nylon bath towels with caution or not at all. Even if they are used, they should not be rubbed hard, and the whole family should not share a bath towel.

3. Don’t take too many baths

Some people think that the more often they wash, the cleaner they wash, the better for their health. They take a bath every 1-2 days, or even several times a day, and scrub vigorously with soap or perfumed soap. As a result, some people suffer from dry and itchy skin, while others lose their luster and even have flaking and cracking.

The more times you take a bath, the better. Excessive bathing and body washes will remove the moisturizing and protective sebum film on the skin surface, making the skin dry, flaky and cracked. The skin is more susceptible to invasion by bacteria and other microorganisms. In winter, it is enough to take a bath once a week. Even in the hot summer, when you sweat a lot, it is recommended to just rinse off the sweat stains. People with dry skin should not take a bath with soaps with strong alkalinity or perfumed soaps. Patients with eczema, dermatitis, and itchy skin should not take a bath too often.
