In the cold winter months, it’s a pleasure to be able to take a hot bath. The benefits of bathing are many, in addition to cleaning and fatigue, but also to relax the muscles and blood, improve sleep, improve the metabolism of the skin. However, if the bath is not the right way, but will make you sick + short life. Here are a few bathing mistakes, you must not commit again, do not let your life depreciated in the bathroom. Myth 1, hot water bathing for a long time Winter weather is cold, we all like to comfortably soak in hot water, can not leave. But this is not a good habit. Bath time is too long, the skin surface will lose oil protection, resulting in dry itching and other symptoms, but also cause skin wrinkling, dehydration and other conditions. In addition, a long bath, people are easily fatigued, easy to cause heart ischemia, hypoxia, resulting in coronary artery spasm, thrombosis, and even induce serious arrhythmias and sudden death. Suggestions: 20 minutes in the tub, 3 to 5 minutes in the shower can be. Myth 2, the higher the bath water temperature the better cold weather, many people like to take a bath with very hot water, and even feel that the hotter the water temperature can improve the body heat. But the bath water temperature is too high but will make your skin suffer. It will destroy the oil on the surface of the skin, resulting in capillary dilation, increasing the degree of dry skin. At the same time, too high a temperature will also increase the burden on the heart, because the whole body skin blood vessels are obviously dilated, a large amount of blood flow to the whole body skin, will make the heart ischemia and lack of oxygen. Suggestions: bathing water temperature and body temperature close to the appropriate. Myth 3, the use of strong cleaning ability of the bath winter skin is already dry and fragile, if the use of strong cleaning ability of the bath, will aggravate the damage to the protective layer of the skin, aggravating skin problems. Autumn and winter bath time, we should choose a mild nature of the bath products to avoid stimulation of the skin. Suggestions: the bath must choose a small alkaline, neutral best. After the bath, it is best to apply a layer of skin care products that can emollient, moisturizing. Myth 4, bathing too often Many people think that the more diligent bathing, the more clean the body will be. But with the advent of winter, the skin has become increasingly dry and fragile, itchy skin is also easy to focus on these “diligent bathers”. Bathing too diligently, the skin surface secretion of oil and normal parasitic skin surface protective flora washed away, easy to hurt the skin’s stratum corneum, resulting in itchy skin, skin resistance will also be weakened, but easy to get sick. Scrubbing, will also lead to damage to the already fragile epidermis, bacteria, fungi to take advantage of the situation, resulting in skin infections. Suggestions: the number of baths in winter, to 1 to 2 times a week is appropriate. Myth 5, bathing order is not careful Most people take a bath, the first is to wash hair, which is wrong. Because of the low temperature in winter, after taking off clothes into the bathroom, blood will be concentrated in the viscera and head, immediately wash your hair, may lead to poor blood flow to the head, long-term, may induce cerebrovascular disease. In addition, the low temperature of winter so that the human skin blood vessels in a contracted state, and the temperature of the winter bath water is relatively high, warm water suddenly from the head to the human regulatory system will be “caught off guard”, causing sudden expansion of the head and the whole body skin vessels, a large amount of blood concentration to the skin surface, resulting in heart, brain and other important organs acute ischemia The dizziness, chest tightness and other discomforts will also come to the door. Suggestions: winter bathing, the correct practice should be the first hot water rinse feet before bathing, to be warm feet and then slowly drench the body, so that the body has a gradual process of adaptation. Myth 6, when bathing closed doors and windows Many people like to close the doors and windows in the winter bath, lest the cold air outside sneak in. But if you use a gas water heater bath, this behavior is very likely to lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Suggestion: don’t close the doors and windows tightly when bathing, more than half an hour must be up to see. Otherwise, poisoning for more than half an hour can be life-threatening.
