6. USING A POUF
6.使用浴花

Poufs and loofahs are a haven for bacteria — the dead skin cells they scrub so well from our body get caught up in the nooks where bacteria can feed on them.
浴花和絲瓜絡(luò)是細(xì)菌的天堂——它們從身上擦下來的死皮細(xì)胞隱藏在角落里，會(huì)滋生細(xì)菌。

'Also, because poufs take time to dry and may well retain dead skin cells, it’s a potential source of infection,’ said dermatologist Dr Sam Bunting.
“而且，因?yàn)樵』ㄟ^段時(shí)間才能干，也許還留有死皮細(xì)胞，是感染的潛在來源，”皮膚病專家薩姆·邦廷說。

‘Over-exfoliating can damage the skin’s vital barrier function, making it more susceptible to invasion by bugs harboured in the loofah.’
“過度去角質(zhì)會(huì)破壞皮膚重要的防御功能，更容易被絲瓜絡(luò)里隱藏的細(xì)菌入侵?！?/p>

Plastic poufs should be replaced at least every two months.
塑料浴花應(yīng)該至少兩個(gè)月更換一次。

To keep it clean, wet your pouf and put it on a medium heat in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds.
為了讓它保持干凈，沾濕浴花，把它放在微波爐里用中火加熱30到60秒。

You can also try the washing machine or dishwasher. And keep the pouf in a dry place, by an open window, rather than in the shower.
你也可以試一下洗衣機(jī)或洗碗機(jī)。把浴花放在干燥的地方，放在打開的窗戶旁，而不是放在浴室里。
