We are all concerned about our personal hygiene, but in many cases we do not realize that over washing certain areas of the body can be counterproductive and cause more harm than good.
So that you don’t make this mistake, we tell you what are the parts of the body that you don’t have to clean as often.
And is that certain things we do regularly, such as rubbing too hard in the shower, washing our hair daily or exfoliating the skin to remove dead cells every two to three actually damages the natural balance of our body and can be harmful.
Pay attention to areas that are recommended not to wash too often:
Ears
In case you did not know, the earwax is responsible for keeping your ears clean, collecting and dragging the remains of dust and impurities that enter inside to take them out.
Therefore, if you remove this protective film too often, you leave the external ear channel unprotected.
If you use a cotton swab on top, you push the wax inwards and favor the appearance of plugs.
Intestine
Intestinal detoxifications that have become fashionable in recent times can be very harmful. The body detoxifies naturally through the action of the liver, kidneys and colon, and cleanings can alter our flora.
It is best to replace these practices with a diet rich in fiber that favors the beneficial bacteria of our body.
Hair
Washing your hair daily eliminates beneficial natural fat, making it drier and less shiny. In this case, the frequency of washing will depend on the type of hair of each person.
Nose
Unless you have a stuffy nose, it is best not to clean it excessively. Sounding loud can often cause problems such as rhinitis or otitis, and picking your finger (even using a handkerchief) can irritate the inside of your nose and cause wounds in the nostrils.
Vagina
One thing is to wash the genitals in the daily shower, a recommended and beneficial practice, and another is the vaginal showers, which can endanger your health.
Experts point out that they unbalance the balance of bacteria in the vagina, they can alter the acidity of the great tract and increase the risk of infections.
