WASH WELL, SYNONYMOUS WITH GOOD HEALTH
More than ever, hygiene is a hot topic today. Washing may seem like a simple and innocuous gesture, yet it has crucial repercussions on health. Each part of the body has its own needs. Review of these different areas and the importance of washing well!
Epilogue of hygiene products
Before taking the full measure of it, let's look at the soap from every angle. Each texture and type of washing product has its own advantages and disadvantages.
After being shunned for a long time, traditional soap is once again popular! Disadvised for a long time by dermatologists for its stripping properties for the skin, it is again rehabilitated for its ecological and natural virtues. In addition, it has the advantage of keeping for a long time (about twenty-four months), if it is kept well out of stagnant water. Traditional soap is obtained after a saponification reaction of an animal fat (tallow or lard) or vegetable fat (olive oil for Marseille soap) on a mineral base. Mlle Agathe offers several types, made with a cold saponification technique: pine forest, sweet almond oil, grapefruit, mint… There is something for all tastes and all colours.
Surgras soap is a traditional soap supplemented with nourishing agents (sweet almond oil or shea butter).
Finally, the originality of liquid soap (or cleansing gel) is that it is more diluted, containing more water and additives. You will have understood it in terms of hygiene, the horizon of possibilities is offered to you. Now let's go through the different areas of the body and the importance of washing them well.
Zone 1 – The face: hygiene in the middle of the face
It's your best showcase. The face requires daily hygiene and the skin of this part of the body is one of the most exposed to external aggressions. It is therefore necessary to know how to clean and hydrate it to ensure good health. And, on the face, the lack of hygiene does not forgive... In 2013, a journalist from the Daily Mail had the experience of not removing her make-up for a month. The result was clear: his skin was marked by redness, irritated and dotted with wrinkles. To each problem its solution, the skin of the face must be washed with a product which is dedicated to it and for this micellar water is particularly tolerant. Miss Agathe also has some on her shelf. Use it at night before bed to get rid of built-up impurities and for pillow-soft skin...
Zone 2 - Hands: microbe magnets
Hands: this is the favorite place of germs and microbes. Once installed on the surface of the skin, they circulate from hand to hand, and can generate massive contamination or epidemic phenomena. Hence the importance of washing them well to prevent their spread.
Washing your hands, several times a day, for at least 15 seconds, up to the wrist is a harmless gesture but a saving gesture. It was in Austria, in 1847, that Dr. Semmelweis demonstrated the importance of hand washing for the prevention of infections. He notices in maternities that the mortality rate for women is higher when the doctor performs a delivery after a dissection of a corpse. 30 years later, Pasteur highlighted the transmission of germs through the hands in surgical acts.
So take the reflex: after going to the toilet, before each meal, after taking public transport... We go through the hand washing box!
During an epidemic, if you tend to wash your hands a lot. These may dry out quickly. In this case, slip into your toiletry bag and apply Mlle Agathe's hand cream. This will allow you to soothe them by activating the restorative, healing and anti-irritant properties of snail slime.
Zone 3 - The body – from head to toe
Less visible than the face, less exposed than the hands, the body nevertheless has its needs: one shower a day, not too long, with water that is not too hot.
You have to find the right balance between getting rid of dirt, sebum and sweat without attacking the skin or drying it out. Indeed, it is naturally covered with a lipid barrier that it produces to protect itself from microbial attacks. It is also a question of preserving this flora.
Composed of three essential active ingredients: snail slime, orange blossom and aloe vera, Mlle Agathe's hypoallergenic neutral cleansing gel respects the skin of the whole family, even the most fragile skin. For a radiant body of health!
Zone 4 - Caution intimate area – fragile area
By their morphologies, our private parts also require appropriate hygiene. For example, the vaginal flora is composed of a set of germs and bacteria that allow it to defend against external aggressions, but also of genes such as mycosis. For this, prefer a soap with a neutral PH to products with a lot of alcohol.
So, whether it's for your face, your body, your hands or your private parts: give your soap a boost!
