I definitely feel a lot cleaner walking out of a cold shower than a hot one. Plus it definitely has some benefits for my skin, I'm not breaking out as much as I usually do.
But also I've been sleeping better, taking one before bed helps a lot. Also taking one when I wake up has nearly eliminated my need for coffee in the morning. I even think I may have lost a pound or two, and I haven't changed my diet or work out routine at all.
Plus it's the best hangover cure. Used to take hot showers when I woke up hung over, but nah, jump in a cold one.
So I tried regularly taking cold showers because I've heard great things about it. After 2 weeks I started noticing some changes. My mind is more active and I don't get that morning drowsiness anymore. I used to feel like a zombie at work before noon, but that's all gone now. Another few weeks and my skin is now positively shining, people have even asked me if I use makeup! I felt like my body and mind had become sublimated, I started understanding difficult academic topics that I had previously struggled with and all but given up on. After a few months, I no longer needed to study at all, I could simply deduce the answer to any difficult topic. My muscles became perfectly sculpted like those of a Greek god, no longer hidden by excess fat. After little over a year, my hearing was sharp to the point that I could hear every movement of the bugs moving in the grass of a meadow. I no longer needed to sleep if I didn't want to. Food was now nothing but a worldly pleasure in which I indulged at a whim once every week or so. I could see time. Then I took a hot shower and it all went back to normal, but it was a pretty cool experiment.
New NoFap cult just dropped: NoHotShower.
On a serious note, I have been taking cold showers lately and I definitely feel my skin and my hair are better. 👀
Cold showers are great for my mental health, personally. I feel more awake after them, I feel more prepared to deal with anything unpleasant (I've already overcome the hurdle of cold water, after all), when I get out of the shower I feel relief because the air feels warm instead of how terrible and cold it feels when you're done with a hot shower, etc.
It's definitely good. Not ideal for every circumstance though.

NO TAKE COLD SHOWERS ALWAYS
I take hot showers, but always turn it cold at the very end. Good for closing up pores and idk, hair maybe? Bracing also, etc.
:this:
I would die if I had to wash my body with cold water but after I finish that the last thing I do before hopping out is turn off the hot water and wash my hair/face. washing my hair with hot water means my curls are non-existent.
I did cold showers in the past and while I don't still do it, I think just learning how to have one is a worthwhile experience if you're able.
I experimented with this once and had a similar experience as what you describe. Then came winter and I gave up because landlord won't turn on the radiators. Also I don't really trust cold water to clean my nasty ass. Cavemen could probably get away with it but they didn't have millions of

THAT JUST MAKES IT MORE INTENSE COMRADE!!! YOU'LL LOOK LIKE THE NEW SOVIET MAN!
Also like I said, I at least FEEL cleaner after a cold one
Mao literally died because he underestimated the winter cold when there's no heating. Learn from history!
Throughout its four-season run, the show consistently drew low ratings while receiving rave reviews from critics and winning awards. It is one of the lowest-rated shows in television history to be renewed through four seasons by its parent network.[12][13] Despite this, the show has a notable cult following, with the cast selling out various live performances on a tour after the show's conclusion

Mood. In the hotass summer it makes you feel less like death, and i don't have central heating, so in the winter it lessens the blow of stepping back out into the cold. Truly a universal proletarian tool :stalin-feels-good:
I have pollen allergies so a hot shower is basically the only time I can breathe fully in the summer.
