Dr. Rosalind Simpson from the University of Nottingham reveals that recent findings contradict the traditional view of skin care. A randomized controlled trial involving 438 eczema patients indicated that bathing daily did not exacerbate their symptoms, which challenges the long-held belief that daily washing could harm the skin's microbiome and lead to dryness and irritation. The study grouped participants into frequent and infrequent bathers, finding no significant differences in skin condition. Simpson suggests that this holds true for all skin types, not just those with eczema.
"Historically, daily washing was seen as problematic due to concerns about altering the skin's microbiome. Recent studies challenge this belief, showing no adverse effects of frequent washing on eczema."
"The study found no difference in symptoms between those who bathed daily and those who bathed less frequently, suggesting that washing frequency doesn't worsen skin conditions like eczema."
