Well, according to Harper's Bazaar, instead of taking a long, hot shower when you first get up in the morning, try doing this instead: Blast yourself with cold water for 30 seconds, then with hot water for 30 seconds, and then for a final 30 seconds with freezing water.
(Note: This routine should be at the end of your shower, so wash yourself as usual first in hot water, then end your shower with the cold-hot-cold routine, ending you with a blast of freezing water.)
This might seems terribly uncomfortable, especially this time a year, but experts swear it really works, and that the cold water will not just give you a total wake-up call and boost your energy first thing, but will also help increase blood flow, open up the capillaries, help firm your skin, burn fat and even improve your immune system.Explore more on these topics:
