Define your skin type.\n\n

If\u00a0you have oily skin, lathering up\u00a0may seem like a\u00a0perfect way to\u00a0make it\u00a0look more matte, but it\u00a0actually works the other way around. Harmful chemicals in\u00a0the soap can dry out your skin, causing your oil glands to\u00a0produce even more sebum, and your face will end up\u00a0looking even more\u00a0greasy.\n\n

If\u00a0your skin is\u00a0sensitive and dry or\u00a0you\u2019re suffering from skin conditions such as\u00a0psoriasis, more than one shower per day can trigger\u00a0inflammation, causing your skin to\u00a0itch even more. Some dermatologists even recommend showering two to\u00a0three times a\u00a0week\u00a0to\u00a0avoid skin irritation.\n\n

Jumping in\u00a0the shower first thing in\u00a0the morning and washing your\u00a0hair\u00a0with your favorite shampoo can make you feel clean and will help you style your hair easily. But shampooing every day may keep your hair from looking its best, especially if\u00a0you have curly or\u00a0textured hair. If\u00a0you\u2019re a\u00a0curly-haired girl, washing your hair\u00a0once\u00a0a\u00a0week is\u00a0enough because your locks need sebum to\u00a0keep the moisture\u00a0in.\n

Only people with fine hair need to\u00a0wash it\u00a0every\u00a0day because straight and thin hair gets coated by\u00a0sebum easily and looks oily much faster.\n\n

If\u00a0you hit the gym often, you may want to\u00a0hop into the shower more frequently. Showering right after a\u00a0workout can help your\u00a0muscles\u00a0to\u00a0recover more easily, prevent body acne, and even boost your immune system. The same is\u00a0true for people who work outside or\u00a0are exposed to\u00a0strong chemicals on\u00a0the job, they will obviously\u00a0benefit\u00a0from daily showers.\n\n

Adapt your shower habits to\u00a0the seasons.\n\n

When it\u2019s hot outside, it\u2019s only natural that you feel the need to\u00a0wash off the sweat\u00a0every\u00a0day or\u00a0perhaps even twice a\u00a0day. And cooler temperatures mean you sweat less, so\u00a0you probably need to\u00a0shower less frequently. Your skin might feel extra dry and sensitive in\u00a0winter months, and showering daily may irritate it\u00a0and lead to\u00a0even more dryness.\n\n

Apart from how often you take a\u00a0shower, the way you do\u00a0it\u00a0also affects your skin and your overall health.\n

    \n
  • Turn the heat down. Water that\u2019s too hot can strip your skin of\u00a0the essential oils it\u00a0needs to\u00a0look naturally radiant.\n
  • Opt for fragrance-free cleansers. Fragrances make your soap smell nice, but these chemicals can be\u00a0potentially harmful to\u00a0your skin.\n
  • Keep it\u00a0short. Dermatologists recommend limiting\u00a0your showers to\u00a010\u00a0minutes maximum.\n
  • Skip the soap. You don\u2019t necessarily need to lather up every time you take a shower. The only areas that need to be washed with soap are your face, private parts, and\u00a0armpits.\n\n\n
