Bathing for more than 15 minutes is injurious to health [TKB-HEALTH]

Medicine Direct’s Superintendent Pharmacist Hussein Abdeh has looked closely at some of these mistakes. Experts say that after applying most soaps or shampoos for a long time, they start having a dry effect on the skin. Therefore, after using soap or shampoo, it is important to wash the body and hair thoroughly under the shower. Otherwise your skin may become dry, the skin may crack.

However, the expert has also warned against standing under the shower for a long time. He said that even after taking a shower for a long time, the skin becomes dry. Apart from this, there may be redness in the skin and it can be sensitive. Experts do not consider it right to take a shower for more than 15 minutes.

According to Harvard Health, oils, perfumes and other ingredients present in shampoo, conditioner and soap also have their disadvantages. All these things can promote an allergic reaction. The health body suggests that the frequency of bathing is as important as the duration of the bath. However, no ideal frequency of bathing has been set.

According to experts, bathing for a long time can cause the skin to crack, due to which bacteria or allergy-causing elements can easily enter the skin. Antibacterial soap also kills normal bacteria. This upsets the balance of the microorganism on the skin and promotes less skin friendly microbes that are more resistant to antibiotics.

In addition, our immune system also needs a certain amount of stimulation for protective antibodies and immune memory by normal microorganisms, dirt and other environmental exposures. Apart from this, the water with which we clean our body also contains salt, heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, pesticides and all kinds of chemicals. These elements present in the water can also cause problems.
