Showers - Kind to Skin

Sensitive skin needs special care, and for many beauty experts, there is no crime greater than filling a bath with hot water and wallowing for hours. Showers provide a far kinder alternative to skin, and can help prevent signs of early ageing and the onset of red thread veins.

Showers - The Kinder Alternative

Soaking for hours in hot water can create damage to skin, especially if it is sensitive or delicate. The heat can cause red thread veins to form, as well as dry out skin and aggravate any conditions like eczema or psoriasis. You are also more likely to add products like scented bubble bath that can irritate some people's face or body. Showers are a much kinder alternative to delicate skins. Because you will spend less time in there, your skin won't be subjected to the same drying effects, and you can quickly change the temperature if the water gets too hot. You can also give yourself a blast of cool water at the end of showering, to help calm any irritated skin, or just to give your hair some added shine (cold water seals the hair shaft to make it look more glossy).

Showers - Skin-Friendly User's Guide

Whilst showers can be more skin friendly than baths, you need to know how to use yours to best effect. Spending twenty minutes under a scorching hot shower can be just as damaging as lying in the bath, and because your face will be under the water, can actually cause more damage to the delicate skin. Follow these steps to having skin-friendly showers:

•  Showers should be kept to a maximum of ten minutes, if not less. Minimising the time you spend in the shower will not only save water and energy, but will help protect your skin from drying out or becoming irritated.

•  Hot showers can cause red veins to break out on your face and body, so keep the temperature at a warm setting, and finish off with a cool rinse. It might be tempting to crank the heat up in winter, but this will only cause skin conditions to flare up and worsen.

•  It's also tempting to use an array of beauty products in showers, but again this can irritate skin. Keep your beauty routine simple, with a shower cream containing added moisturisers, and chemical-free shampoo and conditioner. Avoiding harsh soaps not only stops skin from drying out, but also prevents soap scum from forming in showers.
