Prolonged exposure to water — especially hot water — can wash away the natural oils that protect your skin. If you get out of the bath or shower and your skin feels tight, it’s dried out.
So what should you do? First, choose showers over baths. But that’s not all. If you’re accustomed to waking up in the morning with a long, languid shower, dermatologists have some brutal advice: limit showers to a few minutes and skip the hot water.
“The water doesn’t have to be cold,” says Kenet. “But it should be lukewarm rather than hot.” Kenet also recommends angling the shower head away from you while you shave or soap up. It’s another way of reducing the time your skin is being pounded by the water.
Afterward, pat your body dry with a towel — rather than vigorously rubbing it — and put on a moisturizer right away.
