6 Mistakes That Everyone Makes When Showering

Taking a shower is like brushing your teeth. We do it every day, and most of the time, we don’t even think about it. A mistake, because some things can go wrong: from the wrong temperature to the wrong care products, especially in our intimate areas. We’ll tell you what the most significant mishaps are while showering and how you can avoid them from now on.

In summer, as in winter, an excellent – or hot – shower in the morning or evening is the wellness moment of the day. The water that patters our body, plus the fragrant shower gel – oh, just wonderful. Unfortunately, the good feeling doesn’t last long because as soon as we’re dried off, the skin begins to tense, and red dots appear in the areas that we have just shaved. The reason for these ailments: the wrong shower routine. In summer, as in winter, an excellent – or hot – shower in the morning or evening is the wellness moment of the day.

We’ll tell you what you’re doing wrong in the shower every day and how you can keep that feel-good moment throughout the day from now on.

Shower mistake #1: you shower too hot

For many, the shower temperature is only perfect when a warm mist fogged up the glass doors, and the hot jet makes the skin redden. But that’s precisely the first fatal mistake you can make while showering because water that is too hot dries out your skin because too much of the natural film of fat is washed down, and the skin loses moisture. A big problem, especially now in winter, because our skin is already irritable due to the dry heating air and the icy temperatures. Instead of being super hot, you should take a lukewarm shower in the future. The shower temperature is only perfect for many people when a warm mist fogged up the glass doors, and the hot jet covers their skin blushes. But that’s precisely the first fatal mistake you can make while showering.

Shower mistake #2: You use “normal” shower gel for the intimate area

After a few blissful minutes under the shower jet, you reach for your favourite shower stuff, which smells so wonderfully of perfume. For most of us, soaping occurs according to a fixed pattern: first the armpits, then the stomach and then a little lower. But stop! Because that’s precisely the worst mistake, you can make while showering!

Because the genital area is quite sensitive to most shower gels and can react with itching or burning, that’s not all: Washing the intimate zone with regular soap can also permanently disrupt the intimate flora. The result: You become more susceptible to fungal infections or other diseases. Pretty uncomfortable.

Usually, the pH value in the intimate zone is in the acidic range between 4.5 and 5.5. The acidic environment is essential to make life more difficult for pathogens such as fungi and bacteria. The problem: The pH value of soap or regular washing gel is much higher, namely 8 to 11. If we wash with the wrong product, we can destroy the natural protective barrier of our intimate area. You should, therefore, never wash your bikini line with regular shower gel.

Shower mistake #3: You also clean “inside.”

The proper washing lotion for the genital area is ready. But there is one more mistake many of us make when showering. You want to be particularly thorough and therefore also wash inside. A horror idea for every gynaecologist because water and washing lotions that get into the vagina can, as already mentioned, cause significant damage. Cleaning from the inside is also superfluous because the vagina has self-cleaning powers.

So when washing in the shower: yes on the outside, no on the inside And if you feel the need to freshen up a bit during the day, you can use special intimate wipes.

Shower mistake #4: You are using the wrong shaving foam on your bikini line

When the washing is done, many of us reach for the razor. Put a little shaving foam on the skin and ratchet – ratchet – ratchet – the annoying stubble is gone. The problem with shaving foam: It’s a good thing for armpits and legs, but not for the bikini line. Like with the washing gel, the shaving foam must also be adjusted to the pH value to irritate the sensitive region further. Otherwise, unsightly shave bumps or painful inflammations will quickly develop.

Shower mistake #5: You’re also soaping your arms and legs

Are you one of those people who lather up your arms and legs in the shower so that your whole body smells fresh? If so, you should stop doing that from today. Because by doing this, you are only making sure that your skin dries out, tightens and itches. The skin on the arms and legs can hold moisture even worse than on other parts of the body. So better let the shower gel stand and rinse off with water.

Shower mistake #6: You shower too long

One would like never to turn off the shower jet because the warm pattering on the skin is just too pleasant. But showering is like many things in life: when it’s at its best, you should stop.

Instead of spending 15, 20 or even 30 minutes in the shower as before, you should stop after 5 to 10 minutes in the future. Because the longer you shower, the more your skin dries out because every second more of the protective layer of fat on the skin’s surface is rinsed off. So out of the cabin and into the preheated towel. And then, it is best to apply body lotion to moisturize the skin again. This way, you will keep that fresh shower feeling all day.
