Shower or Bath that is the question
What is the answer, we all have our favourite bathing routine some like a shower and would never get into a bath no matter what others like a shower especially good if you are in a hurry then some like to have both. I have a friend who will not live in any accommodation without a bath. I never thought to question her love of baths until I got older, and once I opened myself up to the idea that perhaps her behaviour was a bit strange, the questions came rolling in: First of all, who has the time?

Another time when a shower is preferable? Shampoo-and-conditioner days. “Not only is it difficult to fully rinse shampoo out in a bath, but sitting in a bath full of shampoo can strip skin of natural oils.
Like with baths, the temperature of your shower is crucial for determining just how beneficial it will be, If you are prone to dry skin, keep showers lukewarm and short. Long, hot showers can really dry out the skin,” she says. This also applies to your hair: “A cool rinse will help seal hair cuticles, resulting in shine and locking in moisture,” she adds.
The Verdict Well, it’s not as cut-and-dry as I had hoped it would be, the choice mostly comes down to personal preference and location. “In New York City, it’s really a space issue!
This is taking a shower: It is done standing up, while water comes from above (from the shower head) and drains into the drain, so there is a continuous flow of water and this is taking a bath: It is done sitting down or lying in a tub full of water. Whatever your preference enjoy
