5 tips to choose a body gel

• May 2, 2024

According to Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV) , the skin is designed to receive only one shower a day. Although essential for personal hygiene, the excess in this action and the agents that intervene in it can damage the health of the epidermis and generate dermatitis and infections; example, the bath gel.

For the specialist Miguel Ribera vice president of the AEDV, the use of gel or soap alters the natural lipid mantle of the skin; which is colonized by a bacterial and parasitic flora. This colonization is beneficial, since microorganisms participate in biochemical processes that stimulate the development of the immune system and protect the organism from infections.

Gels unlike soap have a more balanced pH and similar to the skin, in addition to generating greater hydration which prevents the sensation of dryness. However, there are some that have surfactants which can cause irritation or other agents not so beneficial. Thus, GetQoralHealth offers you five keys to choose an ideal gel for your personal hygiene.

1. Recognize if you are dry skin. Pass the nail over your skin, scratching lightly but without feeling unpleasant, if it is dry there will be a white trail that will only be removed by moistening the area. If it is your case, moisturizing gels, especially glycerin or glycerol are ideal for you.

2. Oily skin. The most suitable shower gel is one that contains sulfur, mint or eucalyptus extract.

3. Normal skin. This also requires care. The ideal shower gel is a neutral with a pH between 4.5 and 5.9, which is the normal pH of the skin. If you do not use a suitable gel, normal skin will turn oily or dry.

4. Texture. The bath gel should be easily rinsed.

5. Do not trust gels that produce too much foam. Many as a result of softening and lubricating substances, such as silicones or some surfactants, can give a sensation of hydration but, in reality, it is not more than that, a sensation.

According to a study conducted by the company Dove , 85% of people are unaware that their skin in the bathroom loses 25% of its natural nitration.

Personal hygiene is essential to maintain your physical and emotional wellbeing, since smelling good offers you security.
