Are you taking a bath every day? How long does it take for you to stay under the tap water? If you read the findings of this study, take your precaution. A recent study published by steptohealth warned against staying in the bathroom for more than 10 minutes. The tap causes dryness of the skin and may lead to inflammation of the surface of the dermis and hyperhidrosis.

The study indicates that water, no matter how hard it is, is free of harmful chemical compounds, but exposing the body to it frequently affects the natural oils produced by the skin to keep it hydrated. The health site also warned against bathing with high-temperature water for the same reason, as high temperatures cause dry skin and early wrinkles.

As for soap, the site is advised not to use types with a very pungent odor or issued thick foam, as they are manufactured for this purpose, which means that the chemical compounds in them hurt the skin and cause dry skin.

For fiber, the site said that the natural fiber or sponge is better than the commercial ones, which are mostly processed plastic, provided they are periodically changed, with occasional microwave sterilization, because this wet piece attracts thousands of bacteria .
