Question

Is taking cold showers healthier than taking warm ones?

Community Answer

Cold showers close the pores of your skin and help give you clearer skin, but you can still take a warm shower. If you take a five minute-shower, turning the water to cold for the last minute or two will help your skin.

Question

I have taken a cold shower and find myself shivering. How do I warm up?

Just take your towel and wrap it around yourself. Wait in your towel a few minutes. Get ready to be hit by the cold air outside your bathroom. For extra insurance, turn off AC/fans so you don't get too cold.

Community Answer

That depends on your skin type. If your skin gets dry really quickly, then no. But mostly yes, most people prefer cold showers over hot ones.

Question

Can cold showers help you lose weight?

Community Answer

Yes, they actually can! When your body is cold, your metabolism speeds up to keep you warm. That burns more calories, thus helping with weight loss.

Question

Will taking cold showers make me handsome?

Anderson Bridges

Community Answer

It's possible. Cold water is better for your skin than really hot water. You'll get used to the cold water over time, and after a while you won't have a problem with it.

How can I convince myself to take a cold shower?

Anderson Bridges

Community Answer

Think positive things about it. Think about good it'll feel to strip down after a hot, sweaty day, and get nice and cool.

What is the temperature range for defining a shower as "cold"?

Christopher Barefield

Community Answer

If you feel uncomfortable at a certain low temperature, that's probably cold to you. Just make sure it's not too cold for you.
