Can I take a bath on the Winter Solstice?

You can take a bath during the winter solstice. There is no explanation, just be careful not to catch a cold.

Bathing less and moisturizing more in winter can avoid adipose eczema. Try to use warm water when taking a bath to avoid overheating. Generally, people with oily skin can take a bath twice a week in winter, while people with dry skin should take a bath once a week. It is best to use less or no soap, shower gel, etc., and apply moisturizing cream after taking a bath.

In addition, when it comes to dressing, you should wear pure cotton clothes close to the skin, which are less irritating to the skin. After entering autumn and winter, the skin is prone to dryness, so moisturizer can be applied appropriately all over the body.

Extended information

On the winter solstice, although the sun is low and the days are short, the temperature of the winter solstice is not the lowest in terms of meteorology. In fact, because there is still "accumulated heat" on the earth's surface, it is usually not very cold before the winter solstice, and the real severe cold occurs after the winter solstice.

Due to the huge differences in climate across our country, winter of this climatic significance is obviously late for most areas of our country. The winter solstice marks the beginning of the cold season, and people start counting nine to calculate the cold weather (folk proverb: "The summer solstice is three Geng, and the winter solstice is nine.").
