Doctors warn against washing any part of the body during showering

England – Most of us view the bathroom as a comprehensive place to clean everything “from head to toe,” but your daily routine may not be to your advantage, according to medical experts.

Experts warned that there is one part of the body that you should not wash while showering, which is your face, especially since it is one of the most sensitive skin areas on your body.

According to dermatologists, showering may be great for cleaning the armpit area and washing the hair, but it may cause chaos on your face, especially if you are someone who likes to rinse it daily with hot water, because this may cause long-term damage to the skin of the face. Dr. Rachel Nazarian, from the Schweiger Dermatology Group, tells Marie Claire magazine, “Hot water and temperatures will cause blood vessels and capillaries to dilate, and this can cause skin redness and worsen conditions such as rosacea, which ultimately leads to… It breaks the blood vessels and expands them permanently.”

Other experts agree, saying that hot water can dry out the face by stripping it of protective oils, and it can even promote wrinkles.

Kay Scott, a skin care expert, said in her statements to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”: “Hot showers can cause and exacerbate the fragile capillary networks in the cheeks, leading to the appearance of unattractive and visible capillary networks and exacerbating the deteriorating condition of the skin.”

However, there is some good news, which is that if you still want to wash your face in the shower, you should limit it for more than 10 minutes and keep the water temperature to “lukewarm” pool temperature.

“Facial skin, like all skin types, can become very dry if there is a lot of contact with water, so the general rule of thumb is to wash your face,” Hadley King, an instructor of dermatology at Weill Medical College of Cornell University, explains to Marie Claire magazine. “It is not to prolong the cleaning period and to use water that is not very hot, in which case the risk of capillary dilation on the face is less.”

King continued, “As long as you are willing to make these simple adjustments to your shower, there are actually some potential benefits to washing your face, as hydration and warm water make the skin particularly susceptible to gentle exfoliation and thorough cleansing, and it also reduces the chance of pimples spreading in places like your hairline.” “.
