I spend 5 hours in the bath and I use 3-4 淋浴 gels in just a week, is that normal?

I'm a hygiene freak!

No, it's not normal and it's not very healthy.

It should only take a maximum of 15 分钟 to wash off any dirt from your skin.

The skin has a very thin outer layer called the stratum corneum. It's composed of a layer of dead skin cells. It's needed to protect the underlying layers which contain all the vitamins, lipids, and living cells.
When 你 bathe so much, you're washing this outer layer off. Without the stratum corneum, 你 have less protection from sun rays and normally harmless airborne bacteria.

It's a bigger issue than just dry skin. 你 may actually be 更多 susceptible to sunburn and rashes, and any other irritant. Some studies even 显示 that without this outer layer of skin, you're putting yourself at a higher risk of skin cancer.


15 分钟 should be good enough. The occasional 小时 long bath for relaxation is fine, but don't make it a regular thing.

你 might want to look into possibly having OCD.

This is pretty much exactly what I was going to follow up with. If 你 can switch over to a normal routine without any problems, 你 probably don't have OCD - but if it causes 你 a lot of grief, that may be a sign of a problem. See a doctor either way! This is not normal behavior

你 spend 5 hours in a total of seven days? How big are the 淋浴 gel containers that you're going through?

Probably not. I don't think 你 need that much product to get clean, and 你 run the risk of drying out 或者 otherwise irritating your skin.

I moisturize loads though to make sure my skin doesn't get really dry

What about the expense? For the 淋浴 gels alone that would be around $20 a week here.

Does that time include doing hair and make-up after 你 bathe?

i dont think so. (i spend alot of time doing hair and make up, depending on where im going of course, but i dont think a couple hours is too unreasonable for that...)

True! And my family thinks my taking about 30 min to get ready is excessive...
