专家揭示十大洗澡误区，你洗对了吗？

Poufs and loofahs are a haven for bacteria — the dead skin cells they scrub so well from our body get caught up in the nooks where bacteria can feed on them.
浴花和丝瓜络是细菌的天堂——它们从身上擦下来的死皮细胞隐藏在角落里，会滋生细菌。

'Also, because poufs take time to dry and may well retain dead skin cells, it’s a potential source of infection,’ said dermatologist Dr Sam Bunting.
“而且，因为浴花过段时间才能干，也许还留有死皮细胞，是感染的潜在来源，”皮肤病专家萨姆·邦廷说。

‘Over-exfoliating can damage the skin’s vital barrier function, making it more susceptible to invasion by bugs harboured in the loofah.’
“过度去角质会破坏皮肤重要的防御功能，更容易被丝瓜络里隐藏的细菌入侵。”

Plastic poufs should be replaced at least every two months.
塑料浴花应该至少两个月更换一次。

To keep it clean, wet your pouf and put it on a medium heat in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds.
为了让它保持干净，沾湿浴花，把它放在微波炉里用中火加热30到60秒。

You can also try the washing machine or dishwasher. And keep the pouf in a dry place, by an open window, rather than in the shower.
你也可以试一下洗衣机或洗碗机。把浴花放在干燥的地方，放在打开的窗户旁，而不是放在浴室里。
