Anybody on /fit/ take contrasting showers? Do they work?

They feel nice, don't know if they have any other effects

I like to take a normal hot shower and then after I use body wash and all that shit I make it as cold as it can go and stay in for a little bit just to get the vasoconstriction benefits of the cold water. No point in doing 50-50 hot/cold imo but I'm not a scientist so

Good for the pores. Make sure to change your sheets daily, and put a towel over your pillow to absorb oil. Wash face immediately after waking up. Hot then cold water. You're welcome.

Warm and cold showers have both their benefits.
You should be aware that some conditions don't go well with either.

I used to visit the sauna weekly but the price for a daily visit went up to 16€ during the last 3 years and I am not willing to keep this up anymore.
I take my daily hot shower and shower cold afterwards.
If in a hurry it's managable to shower cold without hesitation.
But when I have the time and can't bring myself to step into the cold shower jet I use a simple trick. First shower legs, then arms then face cold. If needed repeat 3 times. Then take a full cold shower if you can.
Try head, neck and back, armpits, pubic region and your bunghole.
Especially showering the bunghole cold has its benefits if you're a really oldfag. Your farts will sound strong again, like when you were young and tight. You will have less struggle establishing dominance with a stronger brrrrrrrt.
Also eat eggy daily. The sulfuric smell will keep the gaindraining bitches and bitchers away.

War water opens pores to release heat from body. This can help prevent blackheads.

Cold water closes the pores to retain bodyheat.
I think this is to prevent anything entering them, like germs.

It's a placebo, but do whatever the fuck you want to do. It's just a shower.

Sort of

Twice in my shower I do about 30 secs of cold. But it's really not that long. I'm guessing you should do it for a bit longer?

It is not a placebo.
The benefits of showering warm and cold don't depend on you believing in it.

Just nigger it up or read some article about it.
