The doctor explained how long you can shower without harming your health

Both too short and excessively long showers can negatively affect a person's health. Doctor Jorge Angel spoke about the optimal duration of water procedures in an interview with Vanitatis.

- If you shower for too little time, you don't completely remove dirt that harms the skin. This prevents proper daily hygiene, - the expert explained.

At the same time, the specialist warned that staying under water streams for a long time also carries danger - the protective barrier of the skin is disrupted, making it vulnerable to aggressive external factors.

The consequences of a prolonged shower can manifest as dryness, irritation, and even the development of various infections. According to recommendations published in the newspaper, the optimal duration of water procedures should not exceed five minutes.
