N / A? Do you also belong to those people who stand in the shower in the morning after getting up to wake up and start the day fresh? Then you should reconsider this habit at least in winter …

For many of us, the morning shower is part of a good start to the day. But especially in winter with icy temperatures, as we are feeling them in Germany right now, that's a bad move.

Why? At night, a kind of oil layer forms on the skin and hair, which supplies them with moisture. If you shower immediately, you wash off this natural care product straight away. Dry skin in particular, which is prone to tension, suffers even more as a result. It is better to take a warm shower in the evening before going to bed and then slip into bed. The warm steam also relaxes and lets us fall asleep better and better.
