Question 1

how to wash with summers eve?

Accepted Answer

Summer's Eve: Actually would recommend against use of feminine washes/ douching as it can negatively impact vaginal pH. Take care.

Question 2

what is a good facial wash to use?

Accepted Answer

Really depends: on your skin type

Question 3

how often should you wash your face?

Accepted Answer

Depends on oiliness: Skin must have oil in order to stay soft and waterproof (water resistant). Otherwise, eczema rashes with dry, crackly skin will start forming. Washing one's face in the morning and at bedtime is fine to do. Not washing one's face will lead to an oily face, but should not cause any medical problems. Washing 2 extra times during the day is fine, but over-washing will irritate skin & cause rashes.

Question 4

should women baths are take showers?

Accepted Answer

Depends on which...: Whether a woman should take a bath or a shower depends on which one gets her the cleanest. Getting partially clean is not good. Some people have limited mobility due to arthritis or other disorders, and may need additional items like grab bars, shower seats, extra-long shower hoses, etc... For others, a very warm bath may help relax muscles. If all else is equal, then it becomes personal choice.

Question 5

is jergens body wash good for eczsma?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure: Generally, it is important to keep your skin from getting too dry.  A moisturizing soap is best to use and, after a shower, you should use a good moisturizing product (an emollient).  Thick creams like eucerin or cetaphil are better than lotions, and even using heavy ointments like petrolatum or aquaphor at bedtime is often advised.  Your doctor can prescribe other drugs (like steroids) if needed.

Question 6

is using feminine washes good or bad ?

Accepted Answer

Bad: Not needed, your vaginal will clean itself. Just take a shower and use soap and water to clean the outside.

Question 7

can i wash and reuse my catheters or not?

Accepted Answer

Catheters: It is not recommended as it is unlikely to get them completely sterile and that can result in urinary tract infections and other complications.

Question 8

is it necessary to wash your face everyday?

Accepted Answer

Good hygiene only...: Only good hygiene is necessary. Whether or not that includes face-washing depends on personal choice, but the face should have good hygiene.

Question 9

how much should you wash your face per day?

Accepted Answer

Twice a day: Most important time to wash is at the end of the day to wash off the dirt and oil buildup and makeup and sunscreen. If you take a shower in the morning you're already washing your face. Most people don't need a deep cleansing in the morning but just a mild rinse or gentle cleanser. Also good to wash your face after working out and sweating. Don't overscrub your skin.

Question 10

do cold showers actually help you lose weight?

Accepted Answer

Basically no: The amount of calories burned is so minuscule as to be meaningless?
