Showering at the Wrong Temperature
Very cold showers may not be the friendliest type. They’ll likely wake you up but likely won’t help you relax. On the other hand, a scalding-hot shower isn’t the answer, either. “Hot water causes your body to lose its natural oil, leaving skin dull, dry, and itchy,” says Friedler — somewhere in the middle is usually best. The National Eczema Association recommends a lukewarm temperature for bathing to keep dry skin issues, like eczema, at bay.
