A member asked:
Good evening doctors. i feel silly asking this..is showering every day in the winter too much? i'm thinking it may dry out your skin as the weather is already dry and cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin irritation : Frequent showering, especially if the water has a lot of minerals in it, hard water, and a soap that is irritating or drying is used; the cold weather along with the drying effect can irritate the skin. You can combat this by using soft water, moisturizers after bathing, avoiding soaps that are drying or irritating.
