During the day, the body and hair can accumulate airborne allergens and irritants, dust, and dirt. So if you go to bed without showering, these substances will stick to the bed and sheets, not only dirtying the bed, but can also cause itching, irritation, and dry skin as well as facial skin problems such as acne due to dirty bed sheets and pillowcases from sebum, dirt during the day.

There are many studies that support evening showers because they improve sleep quality, wash away pollutants, and hydrate dry skin.

Health benefits of bathing at night

Dr. Giuseppe points out the advantages of bathing in the evening, including:

Remove dirt and impurities from your body. Taking a shower at night helps wash away any dirt and impurities that can negatively affect your skin, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.

Help you sleep better. Taking a warm bath at night can help you sleep better. In a study published in the medical journal Sleep Medicine Reviews in 2019, which included 5,322 studies, scientists at the University of Texas (USA) concluded: Bathing 1-2 hours before going to bed, ideally 90 minutes before going to bed, in warm water at 40-43°C for 10 minutes, helps people get the best quality sleep. Bathing at this time can help you fall asleep an average of 10 minutes faster than usual, according to the health news site Healthline .

Warm water helps lower your body temperature in preparation for sleep. The drop in temperature helps signal your body that it’s time to sleep. Scientists say that soaking in warm water helps your body’s natural thermoregulation process, which in turn helps regulate sleep. Researchers have dubbed this phenomenon the warm-water effect.

Regulate blood pressure. According to research, bathing in warm water at a temperature of about 40-41 degrees Celsius helps lower blood pressure. Scientists from Kyushu University Beppu Hospital (Japan) discovered that bathing in the evening helps reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to bathing at other times of the day. This even helps reduce systolic blood pressure the next morning in older adults, according to the US National Institutes of Health NIH website.

Doctors say the warm water temperature relaxes both the mind and muscles, which can lower blood pressure. The temperature also causes blood vessels to dilate, which contributes to lower blood pressure.
