Hot Water:
Although there's nothing better than a hot shower to relax or wake up to on a cold morning, it could actually be damaging for your skin health. As a general rule if your skin stings in the shower or starts to turn red, your shower is too hot and it will be causing harm to your skin. This is because using hot water strips your skin of it's natural oils and dries out your skin. The same thing can be said for keeping your hair healthy, having a shower that is too hot will also strip your hair of it's natural oils leaving it drier and more vulnerable to damage. Skin conditions such as eczema can also become inflamed can worsen if your shower water is too hot
