Dermatologists sax that excessive use of soap and water, as well as skin scrubs may destroy skin’s natural PH balance and make it susceptible for skin issues like ringworms and such. After taking a shower, skin should be hydrated with cream or natural oil, so the protecting layer is created. Chemical products should be avoided, because they damage the skin and our health. You can prepare the lotions and creams yourself: mix olive oil and linseed oil with a little water and salt and treat your skin after taking a shower. People who have problems with excessive sweating should change their clothes more often because wet skin is irritated and suitable for ringworms to form.
