Bubble baths
What’s better than ending the day surrounded by scented bubbles and hot water?
Well, it could be many things since these relaxing sessions aren’t exactly healthy, especially for the ladies!
According to Jen Gunter, MD, many bubble-making products can contain fragrances and detergents that easily irritate sensitive skin. Furthermore, some substances found in those pretty bubbles can destroy the pH balance of your reproductive organs, possibly leading to yeast infections.
However, this doesn’t mean you should give up on spoiling yourself! You can replace those bubbles with a nice glass of wine to double the pleasure.
Air dryers
Okay, I’ll admit that air dryers are probably saving a lot of trees since they’re an efficient paper towel replacement. However, they definitely lack the efficiency of a classic towel in terms of hygiene.
Unless you’re washing your hands thoroughly to make sure you’ve eliminated all the harmful substances, some bacteria can still remain on your hands—even when you air-dry them.
What’s worse, electric air dryers can actually help bacteria and viruses travel by air to the rest of the room (which might also help spread fecal bacteria).

About washing your hair, the article indicates a shampoo for hair loss but never put the link to the shampoo. How about giving the name of the shampoo?
