■洗澡时尽量不要锁住浴室的门

 

冬季洗澡时，绝大多数人都喜欢关紧门窗，但在保暖的同时也容易出现一氧化碳中毒、摔伤、心脑血管疾病突发及低血糖等意外情况，建议打开浴室排风扇或者把门留个缝隙，以防出事时无法及时施救。

When taking a bath in winter, it is recommended to turn on the bathroom exhaust fan to improve circulation, and leave the door ajar so that you can be reached quickly if an accident occurs.

 

■不要用力搓澡

 

经常用热水浸泡、用力搓洗容易导致皮肤角质细胞过多脱落，使皮脂膜变薄，失去皮肤屏障保护功能，使皮肤变干或引发皮肤疾病。

 

英国伦敦卡多根诊所的皮肤科顾问德里克·菲利普斯建议洗澡的时候动作要轻柔，避免使用香味太重的产品，然后使用乳霜或乳液等温和的润肤剂，帮助恢复皮肤的油脂，同时避免刺激皮肤。

Derrick Phillips, consultant¹ dermatologist² at the Cadogan Clinic in London, recommends being very gentle in the shower. Avoid products with fragrances³ and always use a gentle emollient⁴ like cream or lotion⁵ afterward⁶ to help restore oils in the skin and avoid irritation⁷.

 

“搓澡会搓走表层皮肤的天然油脂，导致皮肤干燥和刺激，这对那些患有湿疹以及皮肤本来就干燥的人来说尤其成问题。”

"Washing strips natural oils from the upper layer of the skin, leading to drying and irritation" Phillips says. "This can be particularly problematic in those with eczema who have naturally dry skin."

 

■洗澡时间不要过长

 

拉贾尼·卡塔建议，在冬季，用温水洗澡的时间不要超过10-15分钟。

Dr. Rajani Katta, recommends showering with lukewarm water for no more than 10 to 15 minutes during wintery months.

 

时间过长容易出现疲劳、体力减弱，还容易引发心脑血管疾病。患有严重高血压、冠心病或者久病初愈人群，在洗澡时应有专人陪护。

 

■水温不要过高

 

水温过高，容易增加心脏负担，洗澡水温以40℃左右为宜，洗完换衣服时也应注意保暖，防止着凉。

 

贝勒医学院研究表明，在冬天洗个热水澡可能会让人觉得神清气爽，但它会让皮肤变得更加干燥。洗澡时的水温过高会加剧皮肤干燥，由此产生的损害可能会持续很长一段时间。

A hot steamy bath might feel good during the winter months but it could leave your skin desperate for moisture. Doctors at Baylor College of Medicine say the higher temperatures at bath time increase dry skin, which could have long-term damaging effects.

 

“在寒冷的天气里长时间的热水淋浴可以舒缓皮肤，但这实际上对皮肤不好。洗澡的时候水温很高，皮肤上的水分会蒸发，一旦结束淋浴，皮肤会变得更干燥，” 拉贾尼·卡塔解释说。

"Even though long hot showers feel soothing⁸ to the skin during cold weather, it is actually hard on the skin," she said. "The high water temperature and the evaporation⁹ of water off the skin once out of the shower, causes the skin to become drier."

 

■洗澡不要过于频繁

 

减少洗澡频次，适量使用沐浴用品，如果出现皮肤瘙痒，一定要注意护理，洗完澡后再涂抹适量具有保湿功效的护肤产品。

 

“洗完澡后涂上富含神经酰胺的润肤乳，有助于恢复天然油脂，修复皮肤屏障。”德里克·菲利普斯补充道。

"Generous application of an emollient rich in ceramides immediately after washing will help to restore the natural oils and repair the skin barrier," adds Phillips.
