A good shower is a simple shower, no matter what influencers recommend

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – Showers use nearly 17% of indoor water in the U.S., and experts say shorter showers with gentle cleansers protect skin and support water conservation amid droughts.

  • Dermatologists including Dr. Olga Bunimovich advise that daily showers with lukewarm water and minimal soap suffice to maintain skin health.
  • This guidance arises because elaborate multistep cleansing routines promoted by influencers often overuse soap and harm both skin and the environment.
  • Experts explain that very hot showers can irritate, dry, and inflame skin, causing discoloration and worsening conditions like melasma, while also affecting blood pressure.
  • Dr. Nicole Negbenebor emphasizes, “Your skin is a barrier,” recommending oils after showering to seal in moisture rather than using excessive cleansers.
  • Adopting simple shower habits with lukewarm water and hydrating products reduces skin damage and environmental impact, suggesting that less intensive routines are preferable.
