Hot Shower vs Cold Shower: Which One Is Actually Better for Your Body?

Super benefits from a contrast shower

If you want the benefits of both, a ‘contrast shower’ is a great option. First, shower with hot water, and for the last 30 to 60 seconds, switch to cold water. This sudden change boosts micro-circulation, helps your skin retain moisture, and keeps you feeling energetic all day. Generally, lukewarm water is the safest bet for most people. It cleans your skin without making it too dry. So, the best plan is a hot shower at night for good sleep, and a cold shower in the morning or after a workout for energy.
