I knew that conventional soaps slough off skin cells that trap moisture and wash away important skin oils – enter the era of body washes.
It now seems even the hot temperature of the water could be doing more harm than good.
What is recommended -quick lukewarm showers using an emollient rich cleanser. Pat yourself damp dry (like some clothes dryer setting) to let your skin absorb some of the remaining moisture and apply a moisturizer.
Gives new meaning to a cold shower. :)
