*-- How Often Should You Shower? --*
Most of our "norms" came from good advertising starting shortly after the Civil War. The advertising for "toilet soap" was much more effective in America than in other countries. Showering daily became especially popular when people stopped working on farms as much as and started working in factories close together.
However, frequent showering may be doing more harm than good it turns out (and many studies have shown this already). Hot showers can irritate and dry out your skin, as can showering too much. It also washes all the good bacteria that naturally exists on your skin away and can cause cracks in your skin, both of which can help lead to infections. This is why many doctors recommend that babies and toddlers are not bathed on a daily basis. Early exposure to dirt and bacteria may make the skin less sensitive as you age and prevent allergies or eczema according to Zeichner.
Obviously though, if you work out daily, play sports, or do extremely strenuous activities daily, showering every two to three days as suggested may not be something you're comfortable with, but as a general rule, if you can go every two to three days, you should! You can clean the grosser parts of your body with a washcloth or wipes daily to freshen up though! Also, change your undergarments daily. You shed more dirt and oil in your clothes than you do in the shower!
Now, with all that said... it's important to remember that these times we find ourselves in may require us to shower more often, especially when you're still part of the workforce and you want to stay clean, safe, and healthy. And be sure to wash your clothes, towels, and bedding more frequently, too.
And if taking a bath is your way to get clean may I suggest using the
Adjustable Bath Safety Bar by Exquisite.
If you're older, living with balance issue, or limited mobility, it can be hard to admit that a little extra help is needed, even with something as simple as getting in and out of the bathtub.
Made of heavy-duty steel tubing, this
adjustable safety bar provides you with the support, steadying, and stability needed every time you use the tub. And the eye-catching chrome plated finish makes the bar easy to see when you need to reach for it.
This handy safety bar is designed to work with most standard bathtubs and is intended for those with flat surfaces on the upper 4 inches of both the inside and outside of the tub wall. If the top of your tub is rounded or doesn't have a surface of at least 4 inches this safety bar WILL NOT be firmly attached - and that's when unexpected accidents and injuries can happen!
Before installation, make sure to add the included self-adhesive rubber pads to the safety bar's clamps. This will keep the safety bar securely in-place after you install it - plus, the rubber pads keep your tub scrape and scratch free! Then tighten the clamps firmly to fit the bar to your tub wherever it will be the most helpful.
So if you're a senior, living with a disability, or limited mobility, the
Adjustable Bath Safety Bar is the way to return your tub to a place of relaxation, tranquility, and safety.
