| | | Be good to your skin as winter approaches | | Posted Friday, October 27, 2006 7:15:34 AM by Blog57 Team | | Many people find taking a shower or bath refreshing, sometimes even therapeutic. But keep in mind that extended periods in warm-to-hot water can have an adverse affect on your skin. Hot water removes the skin's natural oil. Ideally, a bath or shower should take place with lukewarm water, and last for no more than 10 minutes. And how about the soaps you use in the bath? You can wash with the same brand of soap on a regular basis. Much soap contains moisturizing ingredients that are beneficial for skin all year round. However, a change to a milder soap may be needed if your skin becomes dryer during cold-weather months. Regardless of the soap you choose, you always want to rinse off thoroughly, so that all soap residue is completely removed. After a shower or bath, there are several steps you can take to help your skin stay moist and fresh: • Take care when drying yourself off after a shower or bath.... | |

In winter, people with dry skin can have many skin troubles because their skin becomes extremely dry in winter. It is likely that skin will lose 15~20 times more hydrogen than normal skin when the horny layer of the skin is destroyed. For example, many Koreans like to exfoliate when they go to the public bathtub. However, if the outer layer of the skin gets destroyed during the process, it takes as long as weeks for recovery. Lee Ju-heung, a Samsung Seoul Hospital dermatologist, says, People usually think that they are boosting hydrogen when they take baths. However, because of soaps and exfoliating, they are actually losing hydrogen. Therefore, anybody who has exfoliated their skin extremely must take intensive care of their skin for at least one or two weeks.... | |
