Daily showering may not be very beneficial for our skin. The daily shower is a "modern phenomenon", if we consider that our ancestors did not follow the same cleaning routine.

In contrast, it was hardly surprising if they washed once a week in the 1950s or 1960s, or even earlier.

A little retrospect reveals contradictory patterns and hygiene rules regarding the frequency of bathing: although the Romans adored its ritual, during the 14th century and the spread of the plague, doctors believed that a hot bath favored the contagion of the disease.

But is it now necessary to bathe every day? Is there a line between what our organization really needs and what is just product marketing?

According to experts, daily showering can disrupt the skin's microbiome. The outer layer of the skin loses its natural oils and therefore the "good" bacteria of the skin, increasing the risk of infections.

Therefore, you can shower three times a week. Although there are no strict rules, it is important to recognize the resilience of our skin and not push its physiology to extremes.

For example, if you often experience itchiness, dryness and outbreaks of skin diseases, you can wash less times a week./ CNA
