(7 years ago)Everyone has their own shower routine and favorite products. Some people like to start washing hair, and others prefer to start with the body. For most people, part of the process is washing your face, but that's not the best for your skin. The main reason why [...]
The main reason why you shouldn't wash your face in the shower is that people usually use much hotter water when the shower, according to Benjamin Garden, an American dermatologist.
“Feels so good on a cold winter day or after a tiresome exercise, but hot water is very harmful and irritating to our skin”, he says. Hot water melts natural oils into the skin. And the warmer the water, the more the skin dries.
Plus, a lot of hot water in the face over time can also produce excess pigments or skin signs. So he specifically recommends people who are prone to stains on their faces to avoid hot water.
Another reason not to wash your face in the shower is time. A long shower creates enormous exposure to water, which still irritates and damages the skin. The ideal time should be between 5 and 10 minutes.
