Expert knows when you should shower
Many readers have expressed uncertainty about when they should shower. Now they can get expert help.
"There are many benefits to showering", claims the microbiologist. "One of them is washing off dirt, but other factors should also be considered. Most people shower in the morning, in the evening, or both—but that doesn’t suit every skin type. In fact, very few."
Tine A. Pedis is the microbiologist who quit her job at Sponvika Dairies and started her own practice as a showerologist.
"I followed my dream of starting my own business", Tine A. Pedis tells Sponvikaposten. "It gives me a lot of freedom, and I get to help people."
"Why showerologist?" we wonder. "Why not shower blogger or shower curtain?"
"I’ve always been interested in showerology", answers Tine A. Pedis. "And since I’m a microbiologist, it came quite naturally."
"What does a showerologist do?" we ask, to stretch the article a bit.
"I receive clients in my shower salon downtown for skin analysis", answers showerologist Tine A. Pedis. "Based on the microbiological composition of their skin, I advise them on when they should shower."
"You’ll need to explain that so our readers understand", we urge sincerely. "They’re not exactly the brigthest lot."
"A human is made up of between 30 and 40 trillion cells", explains Tine A. Pedis. "That’s 40 thousand billion. But on and in a human body there are ten times as many bacterial cells, so we’re really just a bacterial colony with some human cells in between. In any case, most of these bacteria are good for us. They actually keep us alive and protect us from dangerous viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms. That’s why we should take care of them and shower when it suits the bacteria best."
"And you can figure that out?" we ask, trying not to think about all the bacteria currently crawling around on our skin.
"Yes, that’s why I do skin analysis", says Tine A. Pedis. "People with A-bacteria can shower in the morning when the bacteria are already awake, while those with B-bacteria should wait until evening. Their bacteria are late risers and would practically experience a morning shower as a shock."
Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) is a fungal skin infection that usually begins between the toes. It commonly occurs in people whose feet have become very sweaty while confined within tight-fitting shoes.
