Team morning vs team evening.What does science say?
PublicitéAfter the eternal "shower or bathing debates?"And "cold shower or hot shower?", Place another conflict: the perfect time to wash.While some do not stand to go sleeping while being dirty, others cannot wake up without their precious morning shower.Each camp defends body and soul their choice, arguments in support, convinced to be right.
Once again, science has decided for us.It is better to lounge under the shower head in the evening to eliminate bacteria that have accumulated on the skin all day and which can damage the skin microbiota, reports Madame Figaro.Sorry the mornings!
One shower per day
The skin microbiota is a kind of barrier that protects the skin from external aggressions.It is made up of several microorganisms such as "good bacteria", but also fungi, parasites and viruses.The skin therefore needs to renew itself.A process called cell proliferation, which takes place during the night, according to Alain Géloën, director of research at the CNRS.
"Pollutants accumulated during the day affect this process, so it is better to eliminate them," continues the author of MICROBIOTE CUTANE."Let the bad agents crisscross the skin during the night obstruct the scaffolding of the skin barrier supposed to protect us".
And watch out for those who fail to decide and therefore wash in the morning and evening, it's bad for the body.During the night, the microbiota does not have time to reconstruct itself 100 %, a second shower will therefore destabilize it.He will no longer be able to ensure his role as a protector in the face of external aggressions and the skin will be damaged.
