JAKARTA - Taking a bath is a routine that is done to clean themselves and make the body feel fresh, but there are still many people who do it in an inappropriate way. Proper technique while showering can make skin glow, hair shiny, and improve mood.

If you start to focus on the health of your skin and hair while showering, then you will feel the difference throughout the day. There are many things you can do to make your skin, hair and mind feel new after a shower, here are some tips

Brush dead skin

Clean the remnants of dead skin and dirt with a brush. Make sure you use a natural bristle brush and do 2-3 brushes on each area.

Wash your face with warm water, then cold

Washing your face with warm water can open your pores, so the product can penetrate your skin and fight acne. Then rinse with cold water.

Cold water closes the pores, because the open pores can allow bacteria to enter. You can wash your face in the sink instead of taking a cold shower because it can splash water on your face without flushing your entire body.

Using a face mask

You can always make masks at home with natural ingredients. For example lemon juice and milk to make a smooth paste and apply on the face, then wait for it to dry then rinse.

Use moisturizer

You should apply moisturizer as soon as you get out of the shower. This will lock in water and moisturize the skin.

Use a fixed water temperature

Warm water makes bathing comfortable without drying the skin. However, do not use very hot water as it will strip the skin of its natural oils. Experts say warm water is best.

Wash thoroughly

Don't just pour the shampoo over your head, but make sure to distribute it evenly.

Then, take a quarter measure and rub it all over your hair.

Don't forget the nape, especially if you have long hair because that's the oiliest part. Keep scrubbing for at least 30-60 seconds before rinsing.

Wash hands thoroughly

You touch a lot of stuff throughout the day. So, make sure to wash your hands before taking a shower. This will prevent you from spreading germs to other parts of the body.

Clean the body safely

Bar soaps are sanitary and reusable, but loofahs are not. Bacteria, mold, yeast, and many other nasty things can live in a loofah.

You should let it dry every day and change it frequently if you want to use it. Dermatologists recommend against using a loofah.

Combing hair before shower

Combing your hair before showering will make it easier to untangle when you're ready to style it. Plus, it allows your hair product to penetrate every strand.

Use scented scrubs

There is something soothing about scented scrubs. It's like aromatherapy in the bathroom. They help soften and polish the skin. Although scrubs are good for your skin, don't overdo it.

Use conditioner to shave

Moisturizers help keep your skin healthy. When you shave with conditioner, you also moisturize that body part. You can also use oil.
