Taking a bath is something everyone will do in school. Many girls will take a bath after work, watch TV or do other things, and then have a good rest. However, when you take a bath, do you use soap or shower gel to wipe your body? Who is healthier, shower gel or soap? Today, let's talk about this topic. If you are interested, you may as well pay attention to it.
Since human civilization, bathing has always been with us and become an indispensable part of life. As a traditional cleaning product, soap is deeply loved by the majority of users, and it is really very easy to use. However, with the development of society, the development of shower gel production seems to be more powerful. Before we say who is better for bathing, let's learn about the advantages and disadvantages of soap and shower gel.
Soap
Soap is an indispensable daily washing product. The history of people using soap can be traced back to Italy B.C. Since the 1980s, soap has been widely used in China.
In the hot summer, the skin oil, dead keratinocytes, dust and other acidic dirt is easy to plug pores, and plant weak alkaline soap, with the cleaning ability of ordinary facial cleanser is beyond.
Soap can be divided into alkali, acid and neutral. Alkaline soap has strong decontamination power and is suitable for people with oily skin; neutral soap has little skin irritation and is suitable for people with neutral and dry skin; acid soap has poor decontamination power, but it has certain skin care effect, which is suitable for children.
Soap is usually made from low-cost animal oils, such as cattle or sheep, or expensive vegetable oils such as coconut oil and glycerin. In the process, chemical coagulants are added, or naturally solidified, and then become pieces of soap. It can be seen that the chemical composition of soap is less than that of shower gel, and it is more healthy.
Soap also has the advantage of being particularly durable. The cleaning effect of soap is good, and the whole body is refreshing after bathing. However, the alkalinity of soap is slightly stronger, and the use of allergic skin should be minimized.
Having said so much about the advantages of soap, let's take a look at the rest of the soap. People who bathe more than twice a week don't have to use soap every time they take a bath. Otherwise, normal sebum will dry the skin. The important inducement of senile pruritus and winter pruritus is bathing too often and using soap every time.
The amount of soap used depends on the specific situation of the skin. Do not use soap or bath liquid to wash children's lower body. Even women of all ages should not use it. General is rough place, fat place, dandruff place and dirty parts use soap more. Otherwise, you don't have to use too much soap.
Shower Gel
In the production of shower gel, water and oil are naturally insoluble, so they should be integrated in the production, and chemical soda and stabilizer should be added in the production process. Shower gel has many chemical components.
Compared with soap, the cleaning ability of shower gel is a little weak, but its skin beautifying effect is much better than that of soap. It has the function of whitening and moistening. After bathing, it can make the skin smoother. The water locking effect of shower gel is better and less irritating.
Good quality bath foam is rich and stable, mild nature, does not irritate the skin and eyes, has enough decontamination ability, after bathing the skin is not dry, is very popular with young people. If you want to use a shower gel, make sure it contains paraben when you buy it. If you can, it is best to use glycerin based soap or grease soap for bathing, because this product is not easy to deteriorate.
According to the data, the medical sector found a component called paraben in breast cancer sections. This ingredient is hidden in the bath milk, is used to inhibit the deterioration of Bath Milk preservative. Paraben does not cause skin lesions, most people will not have symptoms, but once used for more than 10 years, it may induce breast cancer.
Through the above understanding of soap box shower gel, I believe that we have their own views on whether to use soap or soap when taking a bath. Of course, although the bath is good, you should pay attention to some details, so that you can be more comfortable in the bath.
What should you pay attention to before taking a bath?
The water temperature should not be too high
Bath time should not be too long. The water temperature should be between 37 ℃ and 40 ℃. If the water temperature is too high, the blood vessels of the whole body will expand, and a large amount of blood will concentrate on the skin surface, which will easily lead to rapid cardiovascular ischemia and cardiovascular spasm. If the spasm lasts for 15 minutes, acute myocardial infarction can occur. If it is a large myocardial infarction, there is a risk of sudden death. Hypertension patients will also be due to systemic skin vasodilation and blood pressure suddenly drop, appear hypotension, leading to dizziness, palpitation and other symptoms.
Hot water bath makes a large amount of blood concentrated on the surface of the body. If the time is too long, it is easy to fatigue. It will also affect the blood supply and various functions of the viscera, making people collapse.
Full or empty stomach is not suitable for bathing
After each meal, the human body should collect part of the blood from the whole body to the gastrointestinal tract to help digestion. Take a bath immediately after meals, on the one hand, it will aggravate the heart ischemia, even angina pectoris or sudden death. Before taking a hot bath, drink a cup of warm boiled water to replenish the whole body's blood volume. Fasting into the bath is prone to hypoglycemia, fatigue, dizziness, palpitation, and even collapse.
Soap should not be too much
Take a bath, rub a soap can, too much will stimulate the skin, produce pruritus. People with dry skin as well as the elderly and children should use fatty soap instead of alkaline soap or hot water to wash off the sebum and make the skin more dry and even wrinkled. Some people's skin is greasy more, can use neutral or alkaline soap.
Bath time should not be too long
If the bath time is too long, the skin is easy to dehydrate, and the person is easy to fatigue. It is also easy to cause heart ischemia, hypoxia, coronary artery spasm, thrombosis, and even induce serious arrhythmia and sudden death. In addition, if the bath time is too long, the blood supply to the head will be reduced accordingly, which may lead to cerebral ischemia and accidents.
Keep warm during and after bathing
Especially the frail old people should pay more attention. Before taking a bath, the bath temperature should not be cold after taking off clothes. After taking a bath, dry your body with a dry towel and put on your clothes as soon as possible.
Don't shower too often
Taking a bath too often will wash off the oil secreted by the skin surface and the protective bacteria that normally parasitize on the skin surface. It is easy to damage the cuticle of the skin and cause skin itching. The skin resistance will also be weakened, but it is easy to get sick.
The skin of the elderly is in a state of thinning and atrophy. It is recommended to wash once every 7 days. For the elderly over 70 years old, it can be extended to 10 days. For dry skin, it is recommended to wash once every 2-3 days.
