Bad Shower Habits For Your Health

Regularly clean the head of the shower

Bacteria and desalination are typical for shower surfaces. Make sure you clean your shower and the shower head at least twice a week.

Never wrap a towel around your hair after showering

Though this is something you see in magazines and TV, it’s not a healthy habit. Wet hair tends to fall off more and the natural oil the scalp produces are scrubbed off with the towel, making your hair look dry and with no volume.

Don’t leave the razor in the shower

We all shave off some hair which is not supposed to be there while showering. However, always take the razor out of the shower because moist makes the iron of the razor to corrode way faster than usual.

The soap dish always has to be dry

Never forget to close the soap right after finishing it, and take out the extra fluids the soap made from time to time. Extra moist is always a perfect place for bacteria and fungus to develop, and you definitely don’t want them in your clean shower place.

Clean the bathtub

If you still have a bathtub instead of a shower, it demands more work for cleaning it. The material the bathtub is made from tends to get bacteria and dirt way more than the tiles in the shower. Always make sure you scrub the bathtub at least twice a week with a scrubbing brush.

Don’t leave the sponge wet

Like we said, wet grounds are suitable for fungus and bacteria to develop, and you definitely don’t want that on your sponge, the thing you want to wash off bacteria and dirt from your body with instead of just applying more of them on yourself, right?

Always wash and scrub your feet thoroughly

Yes, you’re very tired after the long day or the exhausting workout, and extra bending down is sometimes the last thing on your mind. But don’t forget that the feet and the places between your fingers are the things that collected most of the bacteria through the day. The point of the shower is getting yourself clean, not just smelling good, right?

Don’t ignore your feet

How often do you scrub the bottom of your feet? Yes, that’s a serious question. The bottoms of your feet are just as capable of collecting germs and bacteria as any other part of your skin, maybe even more so.

But so few people think about them that they often go ignored and create problems like stinky shoes, athlete’s foot, obstinate toe fungus, and more.

Do this instead: take an extra minute to scrub the bottoms of your feet! It’s as simple as that. We’re not sure how much more we can elaborate on the subject.
