You need to wash in hot water or very cold: Doctors suggest these two solutions!

There are obvious benefits for both hot and cold showers. So, what should you do?

Adam Friedman, dermatologist, says that “in an ideal world” you have to take hot showers, which is more tolerant and then put a hydration cream on your skin right after your bath.

However, if you want to try extremes, there is another approach. Doctors call it <x0dus contrast” and it is a technique developed by Dr. Sebastian Kneip.

Basically, what you have to do is: Staying in the coldest possible water in one minute. After the minute has passed, stay for another minute in the hottest water you can endure. Do it five times.

According to the doctor, cold water “reduces blood vessels”, and hot water opens them.

“This process is good for regeneration and deoxification”, says Sebastian Kneip.
