Most people have a morning routine where they take a shower or bath, and some even wash their bodies again before bed to make sure they have a good night’s sleep.
Even so, there are a few things that people often do wrong when they take a bath or shower that doctors strongly advise against.
For example, many doctors say that you shouldn’t wash your face while you’re in the shower. This is because the skin on the face is very sensitive and needs to be treated gently when showering.
Because of this, they say that you should wash your face in a basin where you can watch the temperature of the water and change it.
According to the opinions of several experts, the ear is the only part of the body that should never be cleaned in any way. Kris Jatana is an otolaryngologist who says that cleaning your ears may actually cause more problems than they fix.
“Not only does using cotton tip applicators to clean the ear canal push wax closer to the ear drum, but there is a high risk of causing minor to serious ear injuries,” he says. “When you clean your ear canal with a cotton swab, the wax gets closer to the ear drum.”
Kris goes on to say that people often think that the ear canals need to be cleaned, even though the ear canals clean themselves. Even though ear canals are a natural part of the body, she says this.
