Notes when bathing on hot days
Bathing every day helps us keep our bodies clean, protect our skin and health, and relax after a tiring day. But how to bathe properly, especially on hot days when the need to bathe increases?
After coming back from the sun
Staying out in the sun for too long will cause your pores to dilate. Bathing immediately after will cause water to seep into your body, making it easy to catch a cold or get an infection.
After a full meal
After eating, the digestive system needs a lot of blood to function. If you bathe immediately after eating, the body must divide that blood to other organs to maintain body temperature, leading to poor intestinal function, unable to absorb nutrients and causing other digestive diseases.

Don't take a bath too late at night
Room temperature drops at night. Bathing too late at night can easily cause blood vessel constriction, especially dangerous for the elderly and people with cardiovascular disease.
Bathe many times
Bathing too many times a day causes harmful effects such as dry skin, causing the skin to lose beneficial bacteria. It also harms the skin due to the effects of cleaning chemicals such as soap and shower gel.
On hot days, bathe a maximum of twice a day, in the morning and in the evening. Bathing time should not be too long, about 15-20 minutes.
You can listen to music while bathing to increase relaxation, drink plenty of water after bathing with filtered water, fruit juice. Use shower gel, essential oils suitable for all skin types. You should not turn on the air conditioner immediately after bathing because it can easily lead to hypothermia, severe dehydration. Water temperature should be maintained at 20-25 degrees Celsius.
