Coldwater showers can do your body a whole world of good. Bathing without heating the water up has innumerable benefits for your body and skin.
So, what are the benefits of having a cold water shower?
1. Coldwater showers increase alertness.
If you are struggling with getting out of bed in the morning, having a cold shower will wake you up by increasing your alertness and heart rate.
2. Coldwater showers reduce soreness after intense working out
Coldwater will relax your muscles after working out. Immersing your body in cold water after exercise or working out triggers automatically soothing feelings.
3. Coldwater soothes itchy skin
If you feel like your body itches, it is a good idea to bathe with cold water, as it will make you feel calmer and reduce the itching feeling.

4. Coldwater makes your skin glow and hair healthier
Coldwater constricts blood flow, tightens your skin, and makes it glow.
Washing your hair with cold water is also a good idea. Coldwater does not dry out the sebum (oil) layer in your skin, unlike hot water.
5. Coldwater increases blood circulation
Coldwater blood circulates around your body and deep within your tissues.
However, if the weather is incredibly cold or you have a cold then you shouldn’t bathe with cold water.
