Will taking a cold shower be good for your skin?

In daily life, some people are accustomed to taking cold showers, and some people even take cold showers in winter. They mainly believe that taking cold showers can make their bodies healthier and more resistant to cold. Some people also believe that taking a cold shower is better for the skin. So is it advisable to take a cold shower? Next, let’s take a closer look at whether taking a cold shower is good for people.

When taking a cold shower, the water temperature is too low and the human body will feel cold, producing a series of stress reactions, such as increased heart rate, increased blood pressure, muscle contraction, nervous tension, etc. It not only fails to eliminate fatigue, but also easily causes colds, so it should be avoided as much as possible. Due to special physiological reasons, especially for women during menstruation, lactation and pregnancy, the stimulation of cold water will cause endocrine disorders, amenorrhea, abdominal pain, and many bacteria will enter the vagina and cause gynecological diseases such as vaginitis. Severe cases will have a certain impact on women's future pregnancy and physical health.

For those female friends with poor physical constitution, they should not take cold showers. Otherwise, their poor resistance will be stimulated by the cold and may cause colds, fevers and other diseases. However, you can persist in washing your face with cold water for a long time to promote blood circulation, prevent colds and rhinitis, and make your skin more shiny and elastic.

Can women take a bath during menstruation?

The answer to this question depends on how you take a bath. The currently accepted method is to use a shower or a sponge bath. During menstruation, the endometrium is shed, leaving wounds in the uterine cavity; cervical mucus is flushed out by menstrual blood, and the cervical opening is slightly open; menstrual blood stays in the vagina, which is a good culture medium for bacteria. The above results in temporary destruction of the local protective barrier function of the reproductive tract. Coupled with the decrease in body resistance during menstruation, when taking a bath, sewage and bacteria in the vagina may ascend through the cervical canal to the uterine cavity and cause infection, so it should be prohibited.

The above is a detailed introduction on whether taking a cold shower is good for people's skin. For those who are used to taking cold showers, this will be helpful. Taking a cold shower can effectively train people's ability to withstand the cold in winter. But it should be noted that for women, it is not recommended to take a cold shower during menstruation to avoid some chronic gynecological diseases.
