Skin hygiene and health:

Manual therapists, often experience the peeling of the patients skin on their palms. This may be quite embarrassing to both parties. What is the cause of it? Although people take showers or bathe themselves everyday, the process does not rid the surface of the body from dead skin.
Why showering and bathing alone is not enough to leave your skin clean? Because: Soaking the body in the bath-tub or simply showering every day and applying soap with a cloth or loofa does not remove dead skin and/or dirt from body surface.
Showering every day does not remove dead skin and/or dirt from body surface. The skin is the largest organ of the body. Like every tissue, its cells are continuously in the process of renewal. Much of the dead cells are shed as dust into the atmosphere, an alarming amount accumulate on the skin itself, clogging the pores.
