Showering at the Gym Requires Wearing Sandals, Here's the Reason

Mandatory to Wear Sandals When Showering at the Gym, Here's the Reason

Dream - Although it is a common activity done every day, everyone's bathing habits are different. Some people shower 2-3 times a day. There are also those who shower without using soap.

The difference in bathing habits makes everyone's cleanliness standards different. The same goes for the condition of their skin. However, there are several ways that everyone should pay attention to when bathing to maintain the condition of their skin and ensure that their body is truly clean afterwards. Here are some bathing habits that need to be observed according to Dermatologist, Arthur Simon, to keep your skin healthy.

Use sandals when bathing.

Did you know, Dream friends, wearing sandals is a must when bathing in public places? Arthur suggests it to prevent the growth of fungus on the feet.

The growth of fungi on the feet is very likely to occur due to the frequently damp surface of the bathroom floor. This condition can be even more dangerous for the skin when it happens in places of physical activity, such as the gym, yoga studio, and sports arena. Always bring sandals for showering to prevent your feet from being at risk of getting fungus or other skin diseases, my friend Dream.

"Limit Shower Time"

Taking a shower will feel very refreshing after activities, but it doesn't mean that Sahabat Dream can do it for a long time.

If you take a shower for more than 10 minutes, your skin can dry out. Excessive exposure to water can cause this, and it can even trigger itching. That is also the reason why you are advised to apply lotion within 5 minutes after showering to restore and lock in skin moisture.

"Pay Attention to Water Temperature"

Using water that is too hot can make you comfortable when the weather is cold, but it can also make your skin dry. Use lukewarm water so that it matches your body temperature and is safe for your skin.

"Avoid Using Loofah"

Loofah is believed to be able to remove dead skin cells and cleanse the body thoroughly. However, its use can actually cause skin problems.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The problem with the skin can arise because the loofah is usually stored in a bathroom that has a humid environment. This condition makes the loofah a breeding ground for fungi. As a result, the loofah can actually cause skin problems when used to scrub the skin. Simply apply soap to the entire body using clean hands and use a scrub if you want to remove dead skin cells."

Showering Does Not Cause Pain

"Perhaps you have heard that taking a shower after exercising can cause catching a cold or other diseases. Especially when the body is still sweating and needs to be dried first. However, the negative effects of showering while sweating and immediately after exercising have not been scientifically proven."

"Taking a shower after exercising or sweating doesn't cause any pain. What can cause pain is if after exercising or sweating, you stay wet and continue wearing wet clothes without changing," explained Arthur. Therefore, make sure to shower and change clothes immediately after sweating or exercising, so as not to develop back acne or other skin problems."
