“So if you go to bed without showering, these will then transfer to your bed and sheets and may not only promote dirty bedding and night time allergies but could also cause itchy, irritated and dry skin as well as facial skin issues such as acne due to dirty sheets and pillow cases from day time oil and dirt.”

To conclude, Dr Giuseppe believes that showering at night is the better option is it promotes cleanliness and good sleep.

In regards to how long you should spend in the shower (whether that’s in the evening or morning), dermatologist Emma Amoafo-Mensah says it should be less than ten minutes.

“Many people are spending too long in the shower, the optimal time spent should be less than ten minutes,” she told the Metro.

“Spending longer than this increases the chances of your skin feeling dry and irritated, especially if the water is too hot and you’re prone to dry skin.”

Amoafo-Mensah also urged people to ensure that their shower water isn’t too hot as this can strip away the skin’s natural oils.

Happy showering!
