The healthiest thing you can do is start with a hot warm shower to open up your pores and exfoliate your skin. That removes some of the dirt and oils in your pores. Then finish up with cold water which helps to tighten the pores and skin and gives a refreshing feeling. It also makes you more mentally alert
Yeah. I end my showers with a cold shower, because if i try to just straight up have a full cold shower, my hair comes out greasy because the follicles didn't open.
Summer is officially here & so is the grass cutting season so when I cut my grass I’m usually soaked with sweat so afterwards that is when I take a nice cold shower.
When I am hot and sweaty, like after working outside in the heart and sun, a hot shower is not good. I turn down the temp for a cool, not cold, shower.
I love hotttttt showers but I remember when I was younger I used to keep turning down the hot water to see how cold I could stand it. This feels great on hot days with no AC. I live in the desert now and there is no such thing as a cold shower.

I have because growing up, my parents didn't have access to hearing etc.
Now that am older we have heating but sometimes I would take cold showers especially during summers when the place is too hot
Never on purpose. I was definitely super alert but still, no thanks.
Lol yea
For me:
Winter = Warm Shower (not Hot, Warm)
Summer = Cold Shower
🥲 during summers the tapwater is already hot... and I mean HOT 🥲.
Wow lol

Oh yep, that makes sense. And the cool water closes them back up.
Yep. And keeps your hair smelling good & soft for longer

Occasionally at swimming pools the showers are cold. I'd never take one by choice.
Lol.

Not a cold shower, but we did ice baths a lot
Why? 🥶
Remember i was a college athlete, they helped with decreasing soreness reduced inflammation as well. And other reasons.
Ohh right 👍
I often shower in cold water in the mornings , it’s invigorating, and refreshing. Followed ofcourse by a hot cup of coffee ☕️
Yes we did some cold weather training and some clever person believed we should follow Wim Hof and his approach, part of that is cold showers.
Yes. All usually do this a few times a week.
Really?
Yeah. Usually after a good workout.

I did once at camp when the water heater broke. Not fun. I would never do that voluntarily unless I was really overheated.
With the current temperatures, a cold shower is essential for survival.
Yes I often shower cold in the summer and warm in the winter :)
Yes, it's a good way to relieve stress and boost immunity.
I did it because I read how healthy and good it is.. and makes you feel alive!
@Crimsyjo 100% I do it for the same reason! It’s so powerful!
While living in a cabin. While on camping trips. When the water heater did not work.
I take cold showers when it's hot. If not, I use warm water. I don't like hot showers.
