Do you want to avoid the annoyances associated with not caring for your body after showering? Consider this your guide to developing an effective post-shower body care routine for sensitive skin. Whether you opt for a quick shower or use the steam and warm water as your haven to think, the post-shower routine is the same for all!
Keep it quick
While a long shower may feel wonderful, spending too much time in it can strip your skin of its natural oils and even cause inflammation, itchiness, and irritation. Thank you, but no.
Avoid showering in extremely hot water.
In terms of irritation and inflammation, if you have sensitive skin, avoid burning hot water. Additionally, hot water depletes the skin’s natural oils, and while we’re not advocating for showering in ice-cold water, why not cool it down a bit? We’ve heard that lukewarm water is extremely effective.
Gently pat your skin dry.
If you’re too rough on drying your skin, you risk irritating your skin and causing inflammation; therefore, whenever you pat yourself dry, keep in mind that gentle motions are far more beneficial. Additionally, do not abandon the towel entirely! Drying the skin with the air causes the body to lose any moisture it has gained and may further dehydrate your skin. To be safe, gently dab and blot your skin until it is completely dry, then immediately apply your moisturizer.
Use a deodorant that is alcohol-free
No post-shower body care routine is complete without a quick application of deodorant.
