Rakib faisal : Taking a shower every day is a matter of personal hygiene. Keeping yourself clean may help to ward off several diseases; but as per few reports scrubbing yourself every single day might not be necessary. Over bathing can wash off healthy bacteria, making the skin look dry, cracked, itchy and irritating. Whether you choose to bathe daily or not is entirely up to you. But if we follow experts` advice there are only three body parts which need to be cleaned regularly. Let`s know what they are.
If you sweat a lot, your body will produce an unpleasant odour due to the accumulation of bacteria on the skin. The growth of bacteria is the highest in the skin folds like armpits. It will make your armpit smell a lot and lead to itching and inflammation. Cleaning your armpit with soap and water daily will kill the bacteria and prevent its growth. It will reduce the risk of skin problems and make your smell good.
Even if you choose not to take a bath daily, you need to clean your groin area and change your undergarments daily. The folded skin and hair around the genital can harbour millions of harmful bacteria, leading to infection and odour. It can also put you at the risk of developing serious diseases. Cleaning your private parts with warm water and soap can keep the sensitive skin soft and sweat-free.
The feet is one of the most ignored parts of the body, especially when it comes to hygiene. People often jump in the shower, scrub the entire body and do not think of the feet as they assume the water, that eventually goes down, can do the work. But your feet require more attention than that. It is the common area where your sweat accumulates, especially if you wear socks all day long. Cleaning them daily can help to prevent the odour.
Certainly, when we get into the shower, we try to apply soap on every part of the body and scrub it well. But some parts of the body require extra care and when taking bath, you need to clean them properly. Apart from armpits, groin and feet, here are some parts of the body that are considered as the harbouring area of bacteria: Under the fingernails, Behind the ears, Belly button Back of your neck.
