Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN)– Many people resort to buying a lot of creams that maintain skin health. However, there is no need to spend a lot of money on it.
And the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population, through its official account on the “Instagram” website, published some basic steps for healthy and fresh skin.
For a start, it is important to moisturize the body with oil or moisturizers that contain oils, immediately following showering.
The Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population indicated the need to keep bathing time, so that it is less than 10 minutes.
And people should not forget to reduce the use of hot water while showering.
And if you are a user of perfumed soaps and creams, you should limit them, while avoiding rubbing or scratching the skin.
