AskmenPoint out 7 mistakes men often make but don't realize when bathing.
Using too much soap
Soaps contain surfactants that strip away the skin's natural oils. You only need a small amount to create enough lather to clean your entire body.
Wash your hair every day
Washing your hair every day dries out the hair follicles, leading to breakage and hair loss. According to experts, you should only wash your hair 2-3 times a week, this helps maintain moisture and stimulates hair growth.
Shave with cleanser or soap
Cleansers or soaps are made to remove dirt and oils, while shaving creams contain moisturizers that help make the razor smoother.
Not cleaning feet
Feet sweat more than other parts of the body and harbor odor-causing bacteria. Washing your feet and cleaning your nails with soap helps prevent the growth of fungus and bacteria, reducing odor.
Wash your hair carelessly
Washing your hair carelessly will not remove dirt and plaque from your scalp. You should wash your hair properly with water to remove dirt stuck to your hair. Then, rinse with water to deeply clean your hair roots.
Not exfoliating regularly
Most men skip this important step. Dead skin cells build up on the skin, causing acne and dry skin. Exfoliate 2-3 times a week to help remove dark spots and brighten the skin.
Bathing in water that is too hot
Soaking in water that is too hot can easily cause burns, dermatitis and rashes. Hot water damages the hair cuticle, removes the natural oils on the body, causing acne. On the contrary, cold water helps tighten pores, making hair healthy. Bathing in cold water fights depression and increases the ability to withstand pressure.
