Tips to care for your skin in the shower

The hydrolipidic film: a friend who wants you good

Let’s go back a few (small) years if you don’t mind. At the time, your dear teacher of biology – or natural sciences, it is according to you – explained to you that the skin was made up of successive layers. How do you remember it? Never mind, here’s what you should have remembered. The skin, therefore, is made up of successive layers. The most external layer, the one in contact with the hostile elements that are wind, cold, sun, pollution etc … is called the epidermis. A real skin shield, the epidermis protects us from all these external aggressions … provided that we want to leave it its hydrolipidic film. It is indeed this thin layer composed of water (perspiration) and lipids (the sebum produced by the skin that we tend to hate and which however does only its job) which makes barrier between the outside world and The skin, and allows it to remain well hydrated and to preserve itself from bacteria and other microbes frankly not welcome.

So to ensure you soft skin like that of a baby’s bum, here are three rules to follow well.

-Never take a “too long” of a shower and hot bath

Yes, water alters the hydrolipidic film of the skin. To stay clean, a daily shower is more than enough. It is still necessary that it does not last too long and that the water is not too hot. So we don’t even talk to you about the bath, a real skin crime.

In winter, a period when you generally only sweat very little, you can even opt for a “cat toilet” every other day and wash, equipped with a damp glove and a little soap, that some Body parts: face, neck, armpits, private parts and feet.

–Choose a cleanser adapted to your skin

If your skin is dry and fragile with a tendency to itch, it is essential that you avoid aggressive products. The so -called traditional “basic” soap is a detergent that cleans so well that it absolutely destroys the whole hydrolipidic film of the skin. So opt for a soap -free soap whose pH is closer to that of the skin or, if you have the eco -friendly soul, for a Surgras soap , that is to say enriched with moisturizing active ingredients and natural nourishing (almond oil, coconut, shea butter, etc.).

But it is not because you have always trusted the soap for your bath that the moment did not come to give a chance to another washer as well. Although less famous than its colleagues soaps, the shower oil benefits from a nice fan club, that of dry to very dry skin. Like surgras soap, the shower oil is specific to place a slight protective and moisturizing film on the skin. Its big difference with surgras soap or soap. Free soap comes from its oily texture which is however its transformation into foam once in contact with water.

–Hydrate your skin in the shower and out of it

After cleaning with gentleness (out of pity!), you do not rub the skin, you dab it slowly, get into the habit of nourishing your skin with a moisturizer for the body or a body lotion. They will bring you sweetness and comfort while waiting for the reconstitution of your hydrolipidic film after a few hours. Also remember that hydration comes from the inside so for the good of your skin, to your gourds!

It is common knowledge to drink an average of 1.5L of water per day. If that seems a lot to you, prepare yourself with flavored detox waters. Also avoid substances that make your skin live a little hell like tobacco and alcohol. Trust us, your skin like the rest of your very dear body will thank you at the a hundredfold!
