Is showering everyday bad for your skin?

[Anonymous]

Iv heard it robs your skin of moisture and can dry it out.

Hm... It would make sense... We get in the shower scrub off all of the dirt and natural body oils from our bodies and then try to put them back in a bottle ? :-/... I'm thinking here now.. Well in my opinion I think warm short showers are fine. Long hot showers would be a little more damaging I'm assuming.

Hot water is what dries your skin out.

Just take cooler showers and you should be alright.

I don't think its particularly good but it also depends on how hot the water is it, the hotter it is, the more it will dry your skin out. Cold water doesn't quite have the same affect

Yah. I still shower everyday, but instead I make them cooler (I love my showers scalding hot), you can't stay in a long time, only use soap for the parts that can emit an odor I guess? (under arms, lower areas, maybe feet if your feet usually stink..) just water and a rag for everything else. Also when you get out you should pat your skin dry not rub.

I h ad an issue with my soap drying my skin out, I started doing this it only took about 4 days for my skin to heal. Now it's super soft too. ^^

Nope, just don't use harsh soaps, find something pH balanced and moisturise when you come out of the shower. Also try not to shower in hot hot water.

Its more bad for your hair then your skin. As long as you you less drying body wash and lotions there is no problem at all.

I know washing your hair everyday is bad. It might be for your skin as well if you always bath with hot water.

It's also bad for your hair.
