According to a study the only 3 body parts you need to wash every day.
For
some people, showering in the morning is a great way to wake up feeling
refreshed and ready to start the day. For others, it’s a great way to relax
after a long day.
However,
science doesn’t agree with this idea. According to studies, showering less and
only washing 3 parts of your body is the best way to shower.
Here
at GetMe Treated, we’ve put together this science-backed bathing method to help
you figure out how often you need to shower and the top 3 body parts that need
to be washed.
3 Body Parts You Need To Wash Every Day
Maybe
showering a lot isn’t the best idea.
Taking
a shower too often can cause more damage to your skin than good. For instance,
it can dehydrate your skin, particularly if you use harsh soap or an abrasive.

It
can also reduce the number of essential oils and lipids, as well as bacteria,
that your skin needs to fight off inflammation, keep its texture smooth, and
build up its protective barrier.
How
often do you need to take a shower?
Showering
every day isn’t good for your skin or hair,” says Chris, a resident physician
at ITV’s This Morning. “Shampooing every day removes beneficial bacteria from
your skin. It’s not good for your hair either. Too much shampoo can dry out
your hair and dull your color.”
That’s
why many dermatologists suggest showering at least once a day, or two or three
times a week.

1) Focus on Your Armpits
Why You Should Focus on Your Armpits?
Washing
your body with soap and water from head to toe can lead to skin issues.
However, it’s important to keep your armpit clean.
“Instead
of showering every single day,” says Dr. Sandy Skotnicki, “I recommend a
three-step bathing regimen that includes cleansing your underarms to prevent
issues like eczema.”
2) Focus on Your Groin
The
Groin should be at the top of your to-do list

Another
disadvantage of cleaning your whole body daily is that bathing in salt water
and chemicals such as chlorine, fluoride, and pesticides can cause infections.
So,
cleaning your groin and the other two parts of your body may be sufficient.
The
groin, like your armpit, is more susceptible to ingrown hair and fungal
infections.
This
private body part should be washed daily to avoid infection.
3) Focus on Your Feet
Your
feet should also be at the top of your list.
One
of the most important parts of your 3-step bathing regimen is washing your
feet. Your feet collect dirt if you are barefoot and moisture if you wear socks
or shoes.
