The most common shower mistakes! From washing too often to forgetting your feet 11. Foot Scrub
Something that people don’t pay too much attention to in the shower is their feet. However, if you aren’t taking the time to wash those toes, then you’re doing it all wrong. Cleansing your feet is a task you should be taking on every day. Why? Well, because your feet sweat more than other parts of your body. We already talked about how this can cause more bacteria to build up; so, cleaning your feet is essential to good hygiene. You should wash them with a gentle cleanser since other soaps can eliminate moisture. Then, make sure you dry them off thoroughly, especially between your toes. Afterward, make sure you lather on a foot cream, so your feet stay soft!
10. Shaving Wrong
Although most of us believe we have this down pat, the majority of the population isn’t shaving the way they’re supposed to. So, listen to these tips, and you’ll get the perfect shave. First, make sure your skin is clean beforehand. Use a gentle cleanser to remove any bacteria on the surface of your skin. Second, you should exfoliate. You can use a sugar scrub or other exfoliator for this; it will soften your skin and removes dead cells, which will make shaving easier. Third, apply moisturizing shaving cream to your skin before you start; this makes the razor glide smoothly, which will help you avoid nicking yourself. Last but not least, shave with the grain of your hair, not against it! This is something that most people get wrong because they’re trying to get the closest shave possible. However, shaving against your natural growth direction can cause irritation. You won’t get as close of a shave the safer way, but your legs will look better without the razor burn and ingrown hairs. Don’t forget to dry off afterward and apply a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin looking gorgeous!
9. Wrapping Hair
Something else us girls do after taking a shower can make our hair look unhealthy. What is it, you ask? The answer is wrapping your long locks up in a towel to dry. When you pile your hair on top of your head after shampooing and conditioning, it can make your hair look frizzy and damaged. This is because wet hair is more prone to breaking and stretching. So, the best thing to do is part your hair into sections, get the excess water off of each one by gently squeezing with a clean towel, and use detangling spray and a wide-tooth comb for any knots.
