4. Many people have the habit of taking a bath with very hot or hard water because it is cold. Those who suffer from chicken skin should avoid bathing with hard water. Due to this, there is a possibility of increasing the dryness of the skin and increasing the disease.

5. Similarly, bathing for too long also causes dehydration of the skin. So avoid taking hot water on your body for a long time while taking a bath as it is getting cold.
