A morning cold shower makes you feel awake! We might think that cold showers can give us a boost of energy and help wake us up in the morning. But showering in chilly water has several beauty benefits as well. Taking short showers with cold or mildly cold water is an easy go-to beauty trick that has had an incredible impact on skin over the years! ⠀
⠀
2. It prevents skin aging – Coldwater activates the nervous system, and your body releases hormones and brain chemicals that fight stress.⠀
⠀
3. It tightens the pores – While hot water may strip away some of the protective oils that your skin makes, chilly water will temporarily minimise your pores. It also helps give your face vitality and enhances the brightness of your skin. Because cold water can cause blood vessels to compress, the face may seem less puffy or red.
⠀
4. It relieves discomfort from some skin conditions – While hot showers can inflame the skin, causing redness, itching, and even peeling, cold water does exactly the opposite. For those suffering from itchy skin, cold water showers may help you
overcome the sensation to scratch. Cooling the skin by taking cold showers also helps to reduce the intense itchiness caused by psoriasis.
⠀
5. Really wakes you up – Cold showers help you wake up in the morning. The cold water increases the circulation in your body, which leads to a higher demand for oxygen. As result waking you up! ⠀
