Pour water from top to bottom
Many people, as soon as they enter the bathroom, turn on the shower and let the water fall from the top to the feet or from the neck down. This is how the body is suddenly exposed to water. For people with weak bodies, it can lead to strokes. We need to help the body gradually get used to water, there has to be a “warning” for the body to get used to.
The correct bathing method according to folk experience is that when entering the bath, you need to take a sip of water and take a deep breath to make your belly swell, then let the water flow from your feet to your chest, then take water to your hands and clap it on your chest, then clap it on your back, then wash your neck and then you can pour water on your head, at that time you can spit out the water you have sipped or continue to sip. After this step, you can bathe as you like, you can wash your hair and then scrub other areas. This is a method to balance the warmth in the body, and to help the body get used to contact with water, without sudden exposure. This is also a bathing habit that our ancestors often applied to young children.
Bathing with too hot water
There are some people who still like to bathe with hot water in the summer. Hot water can help relieve pain. However, water that is too hot is not good for the skin, it increases the risk of surface water loss, causing dry skin.
Scrubbing too hard and too long
Cleaning thoroughly is a good thing to do, but some people scrub too hard and for too long, which damages the protective barrier on the skin, leading to easily unbalanced skin pH. That also leads to you easily getting itchy rashes.
Excessive use of cleansing shower gels
Shower gels are inventions of modern times. However, shower gels with strong cleansing agents and high pH can dry out the skin, cause skin peeling, and disrupt the natural balance of microorganisms on the skin. Our skin has an acidic pH, ranging from 4.5-5.5, but most cleansing products have higher pH levels. That’s why you should research the shower gel products you are using and choose the one that suits your skin.
