Do you take a shower with hot, warm or cold water? / myLot

It is difficult for me to take cold showers, not even in summer, I always prefer it warm but during winter there is nothing like a hot bath to make me feel relaxed. Cold showers are better for us, to our immune system, to our skin and hair and if you take it in the morning it will definitely help you to wake up

I am trying to decrease my showers temperature but, oh boy, it has been difficult. Do you take a shower with hot, warm or cold water? Picture from web.

I take warm to hot showers. I could not even think about about a cold shower, not even when I was young.

@marguicha During summer it is easier but in the winter it is a real pain.

If I am in the countryside, I usually take a bath with cold water. Here in my city, it is always cold. So I prefer to use luke warm water.

@nela13 I do like it if the weather is so cold, especially now. We are experiencing a heavy rain due to the typhoon.

When it is cold, a warm, hot bath is fantastic.

It is the same with me, I feel cold easily, I guess that is why I am a summer person.

Never pure cold, but I will take a cooler shower during the summers, but during fall and winter and even spring, it's piping hot. Even when we get into the pool, the water temperature is ideal at around 86 degrees.

Pool water is around our body temperature, right? I use celsius to measure temperature, I don't know in Farenheit.

@nela13 Shouldn't be. That would be way too warm for pool water. 86 degrees Fahrenheit is around 30 degrees Celsius. Body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 37 degrees Celsius.

A hot bath causes me panic attacks. I prefer warm water.

I cannot take a cold shower, ever. Not even in the summer. I would have to say my showers are very warm to hot, I know it is drying to the skin to use water that is too hot, but I really love my warm/hot showers.

My usual preference is normal or cold water when it comes to shower. I have that preference while the outside temperature is cold. But if it is too cold outside, I would prefer hot showers. You are right on cold showers- it has helped me to awaken myself especially after my morning routines and get really ready to face the day. In case, it is summer I pefer having shower nly in cold water and that too twice a day. It helps me to get better sleep apart from the air conditioning. I also agree that a good bath help us get fresh and feel more relaxed. Good to know your preferences. Enjoy your weekend!
