Streamline Your Shower Routine: How Soap Dispensers Save Time and Boost Skin Health

Whether you roll out of bed into the shower each morning or use it to unwind after a hectic day, there's nothing as relaxing as a long, hot shower. Unfortunately, while a steamy marathon shower may be good for the soul, it isn’t quite as therapeutic for your skin. Turns out, the same hot water that washes away the stresses (and dirt) of the day, also strips away your skin's natural oils. Without these oils, your skin can't lock in moisture effectively, leading to feelings of tightness and dryness. In other words, you can either have long hot showers or hydrated and healthy skin—but not both.

What’s the Magic Number?

So, how long should we be spending in the shower to keep our skin happy? Experts suggest keeping showers under ten minutes. Yes, you read that right—less than ten minutes! Spending any longer can increase the chances of your skin becoming dry and irritated, especially if the water is hot and you’re prone to dryness. That means those marathon 20-minute “everything showers” we’re all so fond of, are basically everything our skin doesn’t need.

Not keen on skipping steps or rushing through the most relaxing part of your day? We don’t blame you. The good news? Soap dispensers can help you streamline your shower routine and improve your skin health, without sacrificing your much needed ‘me time’. Here's how:

1. Saves Time: No more fumbling with caps and bottles or searching the shower floor for your beloved products. With soap dispensers, your beloved products are always exactly where you need them. And with push-button convenience, all it takes is a quick pump and you’re good to go—so you’ll spend less time in the shower and more time admiring your healthy, nourished skin.
2. Controls Product Usage: Did you know that using too much soap can actually strip your skin of its healthy natural oils? Yes, really. Luckily, soap dispensers dispense a consistent amount of product every time—helping you avoid overloading your skin and wasting your precious products.
3. More Hygienic: It’s no secret that bacteria cause breakouts, but you probably didn’t expect your shower to be one of the main culprits. Unfortunately, that hot, steamy environment is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and mould. Without proper airflow, the bottom of your shampoo bottle (and other shower products) can harbour unwanted bacteria. The worst part? That bacteria transfers to your hands each time you pick it up, which can lead to breakouts on your face and body. Gross! Wall-mounted soap dispensers eliminate this problem, so you don’t have to worry about shower-borne bacteria infiltrating your 7-step skincare routine.
