Long Showers Aren’t Good For You
Unfortunately, the longer our shower is, the more our skin suffers. The cells called Keratinocytes responsible for defending and protecting our skin also produce the necessary oil that gets washed away during a long, hot shower. Although washing away bacteria-ridden oil is beneficial for our skin, rinsing it for an extended period will make the skin dry and itchy. But how do we know what is considered too long? According to dermatologists, the average shower should be between five and fifteen minutes.
