What Are the Risks Posed by Bad Practices in The Shower?

Taking Hot Showers

Hot water can make your skin lose its natural oils and moisture, causing extremely dry skin. My advice to you is always to use warm water in the shower.

Taking Long Showers

Taking long showers can make your skin dry and itchy. The story is not different when you shower multiple times a day.

Applying Oils

While you may want to carry oily products to the shower with good intentions, think again. Oily products mainly lead to slippery floors, which increases the risk of accidents.

Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
