Not all hot showers or baths are bad, but if you accidentally scalded your scalp while trying to wash your hair using an electric water heater, then something is wrong. If you haven’t guessed it by now, let us reveal the answer to you: your shower is way too hot.
You may be wondering what is the ideal temperature to shower in, and why is it important for you to shower in those temperature?
Well, before we reveal to you the ideal temperature to shower in, let us find out more about the importance of showering with the right temperature.
Did you know that our skin is covered with an oily layer called lipids, which keeps our skin moist. However, showering with water that is too hot can cause the natural oils to dissolve, leading you to feel like your skin is very dry after a hot shower.
On the other hand, we are not saying that you should always be showering in cold water (especially when the weather turns cold). What we are saying here is to shower with warm water instead. This is because warm water protects your lipids from breaking apart and keeps the skin safe and moist.
Here’s another fun fact for you: Showering with high temperatures can cause the skin to become inflamed. This is because our skins can be quite sensitive to heat. Hence, to keep your skin healthy, you may want to shower with lukewarm water instead.
Wondering of what is the best temperature for showering? The precise temperature to shower to avoid any harmful effects is:
98°F/37°C to 105°F/41°C
If you shower with water within this temperature range, your hair and skin will stay protected and won’t get be dried. So, make sure that the temperature of the water is well controlled throughout the shower.
Now, you must be wondering how you can have that perfect lukewarm water shower and enjoy the perks of having a warm relaxing shower. Well, let us share with you more on this:
