Any way I heard they were,but I like hot showers too.Oh well

Yes. Actually, hot showers aren't too great for your skin (although i love them!). Hot water dries out your skin and if too hot can also burn your skin and cause permanant damage. They also strip your skin of its natural mosturizing lipids according to http://www.dukehealth.org/tips/tip_20031... hand can cause it to become irritated and uncomfortable. It does on the otherhand make it better for when you're shaving.


It is very drying to the skin and will rob your skin of natural oils if it is very hot.It is really best to use warm water,but I have to admit i do love a good hot shower...It might not hurt to bad if you make sure and put lotion all over after your shower...I have read some where that a really hot shower opens the pores of your skin and cooler water closes your pores after a hot shower... Yes! Yes. It can dry you out. You'll need extra hair conditioner and skin lotion if you continue. Try turning the temperature down a little.

you should wash your hair in the coolest water you can manage, or at least rinse it in cold at the end

hot water dries your skin and makes it go all tight... at least it makes mine Yes, cold water is better for you skin and hair. Showering in really HOT water causes your skin/hair to dry out. But I still do it anyways.... Yes I heard it is very bad for your hair and can have horrible results on your skin. Especially if you get out of a hot shower and go outside in cold weather. It dries out your skin & hair, if you don't want to give up the hot water, use plenty of mosturizer, and hair conditioner Yeah... it dries out your skin and damages your hair if you do it often. Yes dear.Some say ur skin gets darker wen u shower daily in hot water n s for hair, hot water will dehydrate it. Yes especially with all the chemicals and fluoride in the water. It's not BAD, but it will strip your skin and hair of oils and cause them to dry out. As long as you replace the moisture by applying lotion, using conditioner and keeping yourself well hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, there's no problem. For a daily shower during winter heating season, steamy hot showers are not good for a lot of people - but by no means all people.

Dry, windy, wintry weather can make skin itchy and irritated. You might think that standing in a steamy shower would help hydrate your skin. But long showers, particularly in hot water, can actually have the opposite effect. "Our skin contains special proteins and fats that make up a protective barrier and lock in moisture to protect us from harsh outside environments. Dry winter air, forced-air heating, extremes of temperature and the frequent hot baths and showers we take all strip our skin of this natural protection," says Dr. Megan Moore, a dermatologist at Montefiore Medical Center in New York.

Hot water can dry your skin out...
