Watch out! Your bath sponge could make you sick

• April 24, 2024

How do you clean your body during the bath? If you are someone who chooses a sponge to keep the skin smooth and free of impurities, be careful!

This type of accessories have more and more worldwide demand because they are very practical, you can hang them from the shower keys and they are easy to grasp, but ...

A recent study published by the Journal of Clinical Microbiology showed that dead skin cells get trapped in them. This causes bacteria to grow and cause skin infections.

If you still refuse to get rid of your sponge, specialists recommend letting it air dry or putting it in the microwave for 10 seconds.

Change it every month and use chlorine to wash it.

Remember that before any change in your skin it is important that you go to an assessment with a dermatologist. Beware!
