每到冬天洗澡，總要做心理建設(shè)：冷得直打哆嗦，不洗又渾身難受。真的有必要天天洗嗎？

As temperatures drop, many people hesitate before stepping into the shower, but there's no need to insist on a daily bathing routine in winter.

其實(shí)，答案不必那么極端。

根據(jù)《中國(guó)皮膚清潔指南》建議：一般情況下，每隔2到3天洗一次就好。

Relevant guidelines suggest that bathing every two to three days is generally sufficient under normal circumstances.

過度洗澡可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致干、癢、濕疹。去掉皮膚天然油脂可能造成干燥瘙癢；屏障受損則容易起濕疹；熱水長(zhǎng)時(shí)間泡澡有“低溫燙傷”的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

洗澡頻繁不一定會(huì)更健康，“越洗越癢”可能是皮膚在抗議。

Showering shouldn't be treated as a duty, but as something to balance with the skin's needs. Over-washing can strip natural oils, causing dryness, itching and even eczema.

所以，冬天洗澡也有方法可循。掌握幾個(gè)小技巧，就能既溫暖又安全。

① 水別太燙，皮膚不是火鍋。

38至40℃剛剛好，溫暖又舒適。再“燙點(diǎn)”，皮膚油脂直接下崗。

Warm water of about 38–40 C is recommended, as excessively hot water can damage the skin's protective barrier.

② 沐浴露要溫和，不要香到上頭。

建議使用弱酸性沐浴露。藥皂、香皂這種“猛男型清潔”，請(qǐng)遠(yuǎn)離。

Mild, weakly acidic cleansers are preferable to harsh or heavily fragranced products, and vigorous scrubbing is discouraged to avoid harming the skin's defense layer.

③ 搓澡適可而止，別搓出一身“靜電火花”。

你搓掉的不只是“泥”，還有皮膚的防護(hù)層。

Bath time is best kept to around 5 to 10 minutes, since soaking for more than 15 minutes may increase irritation.

④ 洗澡時(shí)間別超一首歌。

5至10分鐘剛好，超過15分鐘，皮膚就開始泡“emo”了。

洗完別賴著玩手機(jī)，盡快保濕，能鎖住近50%的水分。

Moisturizing promptly afterwards also helps lock in hydration.

記得根據(jù)自己的身體狀況、出汗量和環(huán)境來決定洗澡頻率，別被“干凈焦慮”綁架啦！

最后，一起來學(xué)習(xí)一些和洗澡相關(guān)的英文吧！
