How Often Should You Wash?

• Everyone has their own daily routine for keeping
  clean it might include a hot or cold shower,
  washing your hair and brushing your teeth. For
  many it will also include the use of a range of
  hygiene products. We all perform our routine
  differently, and it goes without saying that what
  works for one person may not necessarily work for
  another. For example, maybe you shower at night
  instead of first thing in the morning, or maybe
  you wash your hair (with product) every 3rd day
  instead of every 2nd day. Do you wash simply with
  soap in the shower, or do you have a dedicated
  routine which involves a number of products?

• So when we ask the question How often should I
  wash?, not only are we delving into a personal
  and perhaps awkward subject, but we are also
  attempting to answer a question which does not
  have a definitive answer.

• Is there such a thing as too much when it comes
  to washing our bodies?
• It appears to be widely accepted by
  dermatologists that washing our bodies every day
  is too much, as this strips the skin of its outer
  layer of moisture and leaves our skin unprotected
  against drying elements including artificial
  heating, harsh wind, UV rays and pollution.

• According to the Harvard Medical Schools Robert
  H. Shmerling, MD, showering every day can in fact
  have some negative health impacts on your skin
  such as -
• dry/itchy skin
• higher possibility of skin infection due do
  dry/cracked skin
• the wrong soap can kill off good bacteria
• reduction of the ability of the immune system to
  do its job effectively

• How much is not enough?
• There is one obvious symptom that may be a clear
  sign of a person who doesnt wash very often
  body odour. Bacteria naturally grows on our
  bodies, and when allowed to develop in the armpit
  a noticeable smell can occur. To combat this
  deodorants, soaps and other products are designed
  to mask these smells so that we instead have a
  pleasant fragrance around our peers.

• Natural soap is very important when it comes to
  maintaining the health of our skin and a quality
  product will have pure essential oils added.
  These oils are small enough to penetrate the
  deeper layers of our skin and once absorbed, the
  components of the essential oils mix with the
  natural oils in our skin to balance, regulate and
  rejuvenate.

• Use natural ingredients for your skin
• Some skin care products use fillers which are
  synthetic based materials which do not come from
  nature and in many cases can harm our skin.
  Natural ingredients can assist in restoring and
  rejuvenating our skin with elasticity and the
  repair of free radical damage, a good example is
  Vitamin C. Once absorbed by the skin it can boost
  collagen production, increase blood flow and
  oxygen to the skin, as well as repair free
  radicals damage. This will help with the
  appearance of fewer lines, greater tightness of
  the skin and more importantly, protect the skin
  from further damage from the elements.

• How Important are oils in your skin/hair?
• The skin is your largest organ and its job is to
  protect you. It works hard to produce oils with
  the intention of keeping the moisture in and the
  nasties out. The skins natural oils are the
  first line of defence for dirt, grime and
  bacteria. They become trapped in the oils and
  stay there until the next wash.

• You may be thinking the grime and bacteria is
  exactly what you want to get rid of but a little
  dirtiness is good for us, it builds up immunity
  and helps our system work to regulate all parts
  of the body according to the way nature intended.
  Washing your hair daily doesnt give it that
  healthy shine, the natural oils do. Healthy hair
  that is washed only a couple of times a week is
  easier to manage and if you have an artificial
  colour in your hair, washing it daily will only
  wash the colour out faster.
