I suggest you try it yourself and see how it affects you, that's more powerful than any studies.

Have you been sticking to it? I'm also 18, and have horrible acne (IMO). So I'm severely considering doing this, in fact I'm starting tomorrow. I believe I can last a full frozen shower, I love being cold, I just think it's more beneficial to be hot at first so you can cleanse your pores, before closing them. Don't you agree?<br><br>Anyway, I wanted to ask, have you noticed if your complexion has become lighter? I used to be as beautifully white as a piece of paper, haha. But I fear last Summer really damaged my skin. :( I'm getting back to normal, but it's taking abnormally long! <br>Also, how long did it take for the horrid acne to leave?<br><br>Dankeshön!<br>-G.

When it's shocked by the cold water, it goes into the muscles as sort of a defense to warm them up. You can find this information in several different places.

I started taking cold showers some time ago. I am a B person with a capital 'B'. I like warm weather and sleeping late, and 'biting' the bullet when jumping into a morning cold shower has been a month long quest for me. I do it exactly as described above. Starting with hot water doing my daily routine (showering), and I then finish with 5 minutes in cold water. But I found out that this process is SO much more bearable if I start with only my head in the cold water for 2 minutes. It has made my full body cold shower painless (I will never get used to it though ;) I can also recommend nasal cleaning with semi-hot salt water followed up with a 2 minute head stand (on your elbows - it's much easier than you think - and it's good for balancing the blood circulation every day). It is great for my nasal respiration to. Finally I want to mention 'the breath'. All of you, please spend just a few minutes every day practising some good solid breaths. Not only is it healthy for your respiratory muscles, it will also take you into 5 minutes of total peace every day. 30 deep breaths is perfect. 1. Inhale - open you your chest, and breathe deep into your stomach. Remember it's important that you breathe in to the stomach and not to your chest. 2. Relax and shoulders down while breathing out. Combine it with your favorite meditation music on your ipod, and you will see amazing benefits. Studies show that 'the breath' can cure 75% of all health dissorders, not to mention that while performing these breaths you will find the inner peace as in meditation. (please note that taking deep breaths may make you a bit 'dissy' and you should only practise this within your personal comfort zone. These daily routines takes me 10 minutes per day, but has given me so many benefits I don't even know where to start. ps Remember - Eat well, excercise regularly, and try to get 7-8 hours of sleep every day. I wish you all the best of luck. Hi all. I started taking cold showers some time ago. I am a B person with a capital ‘B’.
