Description

To clarify the optimal bathing style to remove or prevent the distinctive aging odor from the human body, we measured the chemical nonenal and skin dirt before and after three types of bathing, the micro-bubble water bathing, 38°C of hot fresh water bathing, and 38°C of shower bathing in eight healthy male subjects (age: 40 to 44 yrs.). Removal rate of nonenal (RRN) after micro-bubble water bathing were significantly higher (P<0.05) than those after both hot fresh water and shower bathings, and it was maintained even after three hours of bathing. However, RRN decreased after three hours of both hot fresh water and shower bathings. We conclude that the micro-bubble water bathing not only effectively remove the aging odor produced by skin-secreted nonenal and skin dirt, but also prevent a body odor to be produced overtime.<br>
