From a exact age, everyday actions should carefully think. One of the most painless —taking a shower—could actually be lessening your skin without you realizing it.
What if we told you that after 65, you shouldn’t shower every day? Do you believe it? An amazing suggestion, but one evaluated by experts.
Why skin changes with age
A body that grows, skin that refines
Over time, our skin drops some of its natural capabilities. The weakening in collagen, elastin, and sebum, the elements that maintain our skin firm, supple, and protected.
Think of the skin barrier like a knight’s shield: over the years, this shield turns into thinner and more fragile. Moreover, external aggressions such as pollution, cold, chemicals, etc. – look for their way through more easily. And showering too frequently is an improbable aggravating factor .
Too many showers, really drying out
Hot water and soap: lessening mature skin
Showering is cheerful, invigorating, almost formalistic. But when the water is too hot and the products too rigid, we get rid of more than just dirt: we also damage the skin’s natural protective film.
