Dermatologist doctor explained the ideal step by step for the body care routine in autumn and winter
A lot of people don’t give up a hot bath, especially in winter. However, the high temperature of the water can be a villain for the health of the skin, as it can cause dryness, itching and the breakdown of the skin barrier, leaving the skin more sensitive, fragile and scaly.
The care during and after the bath is essential for those who seek to improve the texture, sensitivity, dryness and redness of the skin. These are practices that restore hydration and softness, which results in a more youthful and healthy skin.
For this, the dermatologist Gabriela Noronhaa member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology (SBD), brings tips to put into practice when bathing and that will make a total difference in the health of your skin.
1. Bath temperature
The dermatologist recommends that the temperature of the bath water not be too hot, as hot water causes damage to the skin, such as dryness and itching.
2. Short baths
It is recommended that showers without washing the hair last up to 5 minutes and those that the person washes the hair have a maximum of 10 minutes, to avoid dehydration of the skin.
“It is recommended that people avoid using loofahs and sponges, as these are tools that reduce skin hydration.”scored.
3. Cleansing Creams
According to the expert, a good alternative to replace common soaps is to use cleansing creams, which dry the skin less than conventional soaps.
4. Razor hair removal
To perform razor hair removal at home, it is necessary that the skin is well hydrated and clean, so if there is a cut, there is no infection with the superficial impurities present on the skin. In addition to changing the blade frequently and after use, use a soothing cream in the region.
5. Frequency of skin exfoliation
Exfoliation should not be done daily. The recommendation by dermatologist Gabriela is that the exfoliation can be performed fortnightly, and if the skin accepts the exfoliation well, without becoming dry or sensitive, it can be performed more frequently.
6. Lotion x moisturizing cream
The difference is that the moisturizing lotion has a more fluid texture, drying quickly, being ideal for oily skin. The moisturizing cream is indicated for dry or sensitive skin, which needs hydration and treatment.
7. Hydration
The moment after bathing is the ideal time to hydrate the body, as this is when the skin is most dehydrated. The dermatologist indicates the use of moisturizers with some actives.
“Ceramides are great for hydrating the skin, in addition to hyaluronic acid, vitamin E,
d-panthenol and butters”pointed.
