Some body parts are healthier when they are “dirtier”

Please be gentle on your face

Many people mistakenly believe that these skin problems are caused by not washing their faces properly, so they start using a lot of scrub cleansers to thoroughly wash away the dirt on their faces. However, few people know that this approach not only fails to remove acne and blackheads, but also damages the skin's stratum corneum, making the skin more and more fragile.

Editor’s tip: There are many reasons for the formation of blackheads and blackheads. Don’t blindly think that excessive face washing will solve the problem. Instead, adjust the water and oil balance of your skin first. In addition, exfoliation should only be done once a week at most. Doing it too frequently will only do harm and no good.

Be more careful with private parts

The skin of the genitals is more delicate than the skin on the face. It is a very good habit for women to develop the habit of cleaning their private parts every day, but the cleaning action does not need to be too complicated, otherwise it will easily break the delicate skin and cause infection.

Editor’s tip: When you take a shower every day, just clean your vulva with soap or shower gel, then rinse it with clean water. It is best not to use any vaginal cleansers on the inner genitals to avoid disrupting the acid-base balance in the vagina and causing infection.

Don't use force when washing your nipples

After adulthood, women's nipples and areolas often have some secretions, and even produce odors. Many girls treat their breasts violently, often rubbing them hard in order to thoroughly clean the dirt in the folds of the areola. In fact, the skin of the nipple is as fragile as the genitals. In addition, there are many glands on the areola that will be hurt if you use too much force.

Editor's tip: When bathing, you should lift your breasts with one hand, gently rub your nipples, and rinse the area around the nipples with warm water. In addition, a small amount of oily substance on the nipples can protect the skin, so don't be too nervous.

Be careful when cleaning your ears

The ears are a part of the body that many people tend to neglect, but there are also some people who clean their ears every day. Cleaning the outside of your ears is a good way to maintain personal hygiene, but it’s not a good idea to make a habit of digging your ears frequently. Because if there are fewer "ear cicadas", the skin of the ear canal will be invaded by dust, insects and other substances. Frequent ear picking can easily damage the already delicate skin inside the ear.

Editor's tip: Don't clean your ear canal too frequently, and don't use hairpins, matchsticks, ear picks, etc. to pick your ears. It's best to use a cotton swab, which will cause less damage to the ear canal skin.

Picking your nose is unsightly and unhealthy

We all know that picking your nose in public is an unsightly thing to do, but in addition to being unsightly, picking your nose can also cause harm to your body. There is a very thin mucous membrane in the human nasal cavity, and underneath there are very abundant capillaries. If you pick your nose frequently, the capillaries will be damaged and bleeding will occur. Moreover, the nose is relatively close to the head, and once infected, it is easy to bring bacteria and toxins directly into the cavernous sinus in the brain, causing cavernous sinus thrombosis and meningitis.

Editor’s advice: Picking your nose and getting meningitis is not worth it. For the sake of your appearance and health, you should control this bad habit. If you really feel uncomfortable from inhaling dust through your nostrils all day, then clean your nasal cavity with water before going to bed at night. This method can also prevent colds.

The navel is connected to the internal organs, so be careful when cleaning it

Since we were young, we have heard from the elders that the mud on the belly button should not be cleaned casually, as it can easily cause stomachache. But now there are more and more belly-baring outfits, and girls are also starting to pay attention to the image of their belly buttons. However, the navel is connected to the internal organs and is a delicate area. If it is cleaned too frequently, bacteria may invade the body and cause gastrointestinal disorders.

Editor’s tip: Generally speaking, you don’t need to wash your belly button every day. But if you like belly-revealing clothes, you can just wash your belly button with bath gel every night when you take a shower, and don't rub it too deliberately.
