Bathroom Shower

Dry and mature skin needs cleansers rich in moisturizing ingredients such as shea butter , olive oil , almond oil , or sunflower seed and cranberry seed oil . The goal, in fact, is to preserve the skin's hydration film. In this case, astringent products and aggressive soaps should be avoided: they dry out the skin and could even irritate it. It is good to know that washing the skin with cold water maintains its hydration more.

Combination to oily skin , characterized by an excessive production of sebum, with a tendency to clogged pores and impurities, should use a cleanser enriched with astringent ingredients, such as extracts of green tea , grapefruit , rosemary , lavender , mint , witch hazel and lemon . ideal for leaving the skin matte, but hydrated. Biphasic cleansers, creams and cleansing milks, as well as alcohol-containing cleansers are not suitable for this skin type, as they could overdry the skin, triggering excessive sebum production. Foam and gel cleansers are ideal, as well as non-soap soaps, micellar and thermal waters.

Sensitive skin reacts badly to soaps and products with alcohol, but it can become irritated even from frequent contact with water. Then use soap-free cleansers or with aqueous solutions such as thermal water or micellar water .

Is it better to take a shower or a bath? Staying in the tub for a long time dries out the skin even more, damaging and thinning its protective lipid layer. This means that those who have a bathtub and love this ritual shouldn't completely deprive themselves of the pleasure of a relaxing bath, but they don't have to do it every day. Keep in mind that the shower gel should be used exclusively for bathing, since it is specially formulated to be diluted in water (it contains surfactants with a high foaming power). Shower gels , on the other hand, also contain surfactants, but in lower concentrations than the former, and are ideal in the shower.

While bath oils are super delicate cleansers, rich in lipids and perfect for anyone with skin that tends to dry out, but also for those who like to feel perfectly hydrated right after the shower.
