    ? No...it's just a temperature. Cold showers are good as part of intense excercise recovery, but aside from that, no.

    you're probably better off drinking the water for skin benefits.

    I can tell you that after a morning run nothing feels as good as a cold shower. It really helps to cool you down when you're hot and sweaty.

    Tone WHAT skin?

    Usually I hear skin looks a little more wrinkled after a cold shower, depending on application.

    I don't take cold showers, I make other people take cold showers.
















    Too much? Okay.

    I always rinse my hair after conditioning with cooler water. Apparently it locks in the moisture and helps things look shiny!

    Cold water will:

    invigorate after exercise
    tighten pores
    make hair shinier after conditioning
    make nips hard
    make other things less hard
    help people with rheumatological ailments sleep (I have a rheumatological ailment, my rheumatologist recommends tepid or as cold as I can handle and it helps)

    Cold water will not:

    make anyone less fat
    de-age skin
    heal anything

    For unpure thoughts, or so the rumor goes. Never heard the "tightening skin" thing before.

    So, which is it? Fast twitch or shrinkage?

    I'm so confused now.

    Cold showers? Pfft.

    Cold baths are where it's at. Fill the tub with cold water from the tap and jump in for 20-30 minutes. (Unfortunately, the water gets a little too warm in the summer here, so I'm considering buying a large ice maker.)

    Nah, cold showers just wake me up and refresh me. Cold shower to wake you up; hot bath to relax you and help you sleep.
