| Gradually turn up the heat until I'm ready to clean my face and then I lower it so I don't scorch my face. :) |

I had a very hot hot hot shower today - I kept turning the hot down, but it wouldn't:( It felt nice though, and usually in the winter I have hotter showers to clear the nasal passages & to relax my back !:D
I like relaxing in a hot bath too, especially in the winter with some victoria secret "secret crush" bubble bath and epson salts! |

it's like a good kind of pain...i can't explain it. i have such sensitive skin, but for some reason, i'm able to tolerate very high levels of heat, as far as water/showering goes.

"hey hone..JEESUS!!! turn it colder! wtf"
"no way, u get out then"

| It really depends on time of day it is for me. I usually shower twice/day so, in the morning I take cool showers to help me wake up and in the evening I take hot showers to help my body relax before sleepytime. But yes, at night I progressively turn the temperature up as I get to the end of the festivities. |

I like it barely above lukewarm to start, then I gradually make it a little warmer.
My insane wife likes to melt my skin off. |

We should start a clique for people who only take static-temperature showers. Because, ya know, the c0r is sooooo clique-ish these days. |

Since we’re on the topic of showering, I’ll spread some knowledge. :p
It’s actually bad for your skin (especially in the winter) to take an excessive amount of showers. I mean, it’s cool to get in there and strictly rinse off, but lathering your body with soap every time you shower (especially if it’s more than once a day) strips your skin of its natural and essential oils.
My dermatologist even said that when you do your “once a day” shower, you should only wash (with soap) places like under your arms, behind your ears and your private parts, and that’s it. Other than that, there’s no need to wash your entire body with soap , unless you work outdoors and are filthy when u get home (or after the gym). I never use soap on places like my legs and arms and stomach. Only a few times a week I will, like after I shave, I’ll use some body wash, but I’m more of a rinser and just use soap/body wash in the essential areas that need cleaning. Oh yea and feet. That’s the only thing I’m a psycho about. I always have to use a pumice stone and foot scrub…pretty much for every shower.
Same thing goes for your hair. I only wash mine about 3 or 4 times a week. My hair actually looks better, the longer I go without washing it. |
