Showering every day is too much for most skin types, according to experts. It is best to clean your body with a cloth and mild soap when showering.

Certain parts of the body are particularly important, such as the armpits. pH-neutral soap is best, and is available in pharmacies and now. The front and back sweat grooves, i.e. the middle of the chest and back, also need to be cleaned. But avoid foam, especially in the sensitive intimate zone, says a dermatologist. The right soap is a good middle ground for healthy body cleansing, says an expert from Cologne. It can cause redness, irritation, or even rashes and itching for sensitive skin.
