Benefits of a morning shower
Advice: When you shower in the morning, use cold water because:
- you will feel fresher and full of energy
- you will thereby increase blood circulation and immunity
- you will be more focused throughout the day
- your skin and hair will thank you. Cold water will not wash off the natural oil from them, but it will also close the skin pores and prevent dirt from getting trapped in them.
Benefits of an evening shower
Advice: If you take a hot shower, it should be at least two hours before bed, as temperature changes affect the quality of your sleep. Otherwise, showering before bed means that:
- you will be able to sleep longer in the morning. 30 minutes more on your account is just familiar.
- you will go to bed more relaxed, as this type of shower is extremely therapeutic
- you will wash off all the "dirt" that has accumulated on you during the day and you will not take it with you to bed.
- your bedding will stay fresh and clean for longer, which not only means less washing and changing, but also a beneficial effect on the skin. This will be especially noticeable in those who have acne and other skin damage, as they will not be exposed to bacteria all night.
- you will have more time for breakfast, which is considered the most important meal of the day
