Cleansing with an antiseptic effect is no longer limited to the hands only: it now affects the whole body, especially since gyms, swimming pools and schools have been reopened.
In the spaces where you do physical activity together with other people, in fact, today it is necessary to protect yourself from bacteria, germs and viruses as these months of health emergency have taught us to do.
After the pandemic, hand sanitizing gels are now an inevitable accessory of our handbags, more present than lipstick. Especially since the mask covers the lipstick and so sometimes we don’t even wear it …
The awareness campaign on the importance of disinfecting hands made this gesture natural for any of us. But what to do when in the gym you touch tools that are shared with many other unknown people? We ask ourselves the same question in the pool: even if there is chlorine in the water, disinfection may be less effective in the showers, changing rooms and benches. This is why everyone should carry out an antiseptic treatment even on a personal level, just like for the hands.
To meet this need, the market is enriching itself with allies of beauty inextricably linked to safety in terms of hygiene.
The dermal shower cleanser
Among the newcomers to that special very topical shelf that we could rename as «personal care with an eye to protection», there is Dermon’s Dermal Shower Cleanser.
An ally for athletes and for anyone who frequent common areas which is ideal for cleansing skin prone to microbial infections. The new generation products (meaning with the new generation precisely the post-pandemic generation) in addition to disinfection are also concerned with the dermatological factor.
The formulations of creams, gels and detergents with antiseptic effect are delicate, designed to help respect the microbiota. The ingredients are chosen wisely so that they are not too aggressive, otherwise the hydrolipidic film of the skin would be affected. The film composed of water and sebum that characterizes the epidermal surface is fundamental not only for beauty but especially for protection, given that this is the shield with which the dermis protects itself from the aggressions of external agents.
Dermon Dermal Shower Cleanser contains Isocresol with antimicrobial action, Vitamin E with antioxidant and anti-radical action, Maltodextrin and Betaine, with moisturizing action. The slightly acidic pH creates an unfavorable environment for potentially harmful microorganisms, thus also helping the skins more prone to the development of bacterial-fungal infections.
In gyms and swimming pools the risk of infections increases
The changing rooms of gyms and swimming pools, as well as common benches and tools, could carry germs, bacteria and viruses. Although current regulations and anti-contagion rules lead managers to frequently disinfect shared spaces, protecting themselves on an individual level will also help ourselves and society as well.
«The hot-humid conditions typical of these environments can facilitate the multiplication of these microorganisms and consequently the risk of their transmission, even when the hygiene of the premises is guaranteed. Furthermore, the concomitant presence of numerous subjects with heavy sweating amplifies the probability of contracting skin infections. So when practicing a sporting activity, even the cleanser can play a fundamental role in keeping the skin in good health »says Alessandra Vasselli, Cosmetologist and Member of the Steering Committee of AIDECO – Italian Association of Dermatologists and Cosmetologists.
La skin-routine post palestra
It therefore becomes important to carry out a deep cleansing with antiseptic effect after finishing physical activity. Getting a specially designed beauty case is the first step. Focus on dermatologically tested products, suitable for your skin type and respectful of the pH.
Do not overdo the quantities: common sense is always the ideal measure, so a small amount of product will be enough for washing hands, body and face, in an anti-waste perspective and also not to attack the skin too much.
A knob of detergent will be enough to emulsify and mix with running water to clean and sanitize the main parts of the body. So little product to treat the arms, then move on to the neck, chest and belly with another small amount, then the back and then move on to the lower body, keeping the feet last (which are more interested in sweating, so they could create fertile ground for the proliferation of bacteria).
No water too hot
It is essential not to use excessively hot water: a too high temperature of the water could compromise the hydrolipidic film of the epidermis, thus affecting the protection of the skin which is also the number one shield with which the entire body protects itself from aggression. of external agents.
Therefore preserving the epidermal barrier becomes very important and too hot water does not help. First of all, do not think that the hot water of the shower disinfects, because only at boiling temperatures can we speak of disinfection … So undergoing long, very hot showers is useless as regards decontamination.
A tip that can help keep the skin from drying out during and after the shower is to add a couple of drops of vegetable oils to the cleansing nut: sweet almond oil, olive oil, germ oil. wheat as well as argan or coconut oil will help keep the hydrolipidic film in good condition, resulting in less dehydrated, more compact, supple and healthy skin.
