A FREQUENT flyer has revealed why you should skip the hot shower after a long flight.<\/p>\n
There is nothing better than taking a long shower after being on a plane, especially with them being rather dirty places.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But an airline expert has revealed why you should opt for a cooler shower rather than a hot one.<\/p>\n
Travys Carinci, customer service manager for Qantas, flies nearly 60,000 miles a month as part of his job,<\/p>\n
He told CN Traveller: "I skip overly hot showers which, even though it is tempting after a long flight, is a surefire way to dry out your skin."<\/p>\n
Not only can hot showers dry out your skin, but it has other negative side effects too.<\/p>\n
This includes triggering skin conditions such as eczema as well as making acne worse, as the hot water strips the skin of natural oils and healthy bacteria<\/span>.<\/p>\n Abbas Kanani, a pharmacist at\u00a0Chemist Click said: "Showering for too long (especially in a hot shower) can strip your skin of its natural oils, causing it to become dry."<\/p>\n And a cold shower is a much better option, especially for jet lag.<\/p>\n This is because it "increases your circulation" which gives a quick energy boost.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n According to WebMD: "Cold water\u00a0stimulates the production of noradrenaline and beta-endorphins.<\/p>\n "Electrical impulses are sent from our nerve endings to our brain when we take cold showers, and this chemical reaction may have an antidepressant effect on some individuals."\u00a0<\/p>\n Make sure to have a shower after your flight, not before.<\/p>\n The Point's Guy editor Nicky Kelvin said an early morning shower is a waste of time – and means you miss out on some extra sleep time.<\/p>\n He told\u00a0Yahoo Life: "Shower the night before, as this will shave 20 minutes off the time taken to get ready, meaning you can have longer in bed."<\/p>\n And make sure to run your shower for at least 20 minutes after a holiday – for a very gross reason.<\/p>\n<\/picture>SECRET STUFF <\/span><\/p>\n
