Rule number 1: take a shower twice a day

In the evening, you can take a bath to relax. Warm water, pleasant aromas and gentle products with a soft texture will help relieve stress and fall asleep.
Therefore, even in the cold season, you need to take a shower every day.

Rule number 4: choose a means of shower, depending on the condition of your skin
The choice of product depends on your skin type and preferences.
If the skin is thin, sensitive, dry - choose the most mild, delicate products: shower mousses, foams.
Means should not be alkaline to maintain normal skin pH.
Normal to oily skin Suitable for both delicate products and regular gels, as well as cream scrubs.
Rule number 5: washcloth should be used with extreme caution
If you use washcloths and brushes, then the most delicate and soft ones are made of natural fibers. Synthetic brushes and washcloths are too coarse, they can injure the skin.
Using a gentle washcloth, you can wash any part of the body, but it cannot be used for the face (there are special sponges for this).
When cleansing the body, the movements should be smooth and accurate, you do not need to press hard and rub the skin. Only heels and feet can be actively rubbed with a brush, this will be a good massage of biologically active points.
The fact is that if in winter a person regularly destroys the hydrolipidic mantle of the skin using soap or a rough washcloth, then the skin will suffer very quickly without natural protection: it will wind up and coarsen. Other dermatological problems may also appear.
Rule number 6: no need to wash the skin before the "creak"
If you feel this way, then you have destroyed her hydrolipidic mantle (natural defense).
The human body is designed so that the skin protects itself from moisture loss, creating a slightly acidic environment with a pH level of 5.5. This environment does not allow harmful microorganisms for us to live and multiply, but at the same time it is favorable for beneficial lactobacilli living on our skin.
Improper care destroys this balance: for example, if a person uses soap, he shifts the pH level to an alkaline environment. Lactobacilli die and are immediately replaced by pathogens.
Rule number 7: wash in the correct sequence
As a rule, they first lather the head so that the hair product can fully act. Then they move to the skin: first, it is recommended to wash the armpits and the intimate area, then the rest of the body. After that, you can return to the scalp and massage it, and in the end, rinse all means with water. For proper cleansing, a small amount of shampoo, shower gel or mousse is sufficient.

Rule number 8: use moisturizers after washing
If after a shower or bath you have a feeling of tightness of the skin, it is worth applying a moisturizer: milk, light cream or tonic without alcohol.
It is better if this happens naturally. If this is not possible, then gently pat the skin with a towel (it should be clean, soft and made of natural fibers - cotton or bamboo). And after that, apply a moisturizer. This should be done at least 40 minutes before going outside.
Rule number 9: use the scrub no more than 1 time per week
Both face scrub and body scrub are recommended to be used no more than once a week. At the same time, you do not need to rub or scratch the skin much. Particles of the product should not be hard, sharp.
Choose a product with delicate particles. Today, there are even soft gel scrubs suitable for daily use. But they should not be abused, especially in the winter, when the skin is very vulnerable. Snow, frost, temperature changes when moving from heated rooms to the street - all this gives a serious load on the skin.
The small particles that make up the scrub will exfoliate the skin sufficiently, and it will not need to be additionally rubbed with a washcloth.
Rule number 10: if you are pregnant, treat the bathing procedure with special attention
Pregnant women are not recommended to take baths, especially hot ones. It is better to limit yourself to a shower.
When washing, consider the following nuances:
- The water temperature in the shower should be comfortable: neither hot nor cold.
- The abdominal area should be washed carefully - no need to rub, massage, scrub it.
- It takes no more than 10-15 minutes to stay in the shower, since it is undesirable for a future mother to steam out.
- You should not use aromatic oils in the bathroom - these are quite potent drugs that can affect blood pressure, uterine tone.
- To minimize the appearance of stretch marks on the skin, it is recommended to use moisturizing mousses and shower gels.
- After cleansing the skin, you can lubricate the skin with olive, coconut oil or moisturizer. During pregnancy, it is important to maintain skin elasticity both externally, with the help of proper and gentle care, and from the inside: drink enough water and eat well.
