Doctor reveals the best time of day to take a bath

Most people shower every day, but the best time of day to shower is still a matter of debate.

According to Dr. Singh, taking a bath at night can improve sleep quality, wash away pollutants and moisturize dry skin, according to the Daily Mail.

Bathing at night has more benefits

In general, there are more benefits to bathing in the evening, Dr. Singh says in the video, which has more than 688,000 views.

Singh says a warm bath triggers the release of the sleep hormone melatonin, which tells your body it's time to sleep. In the hours before bed, your body naturally cools down, making it easier to fall asleep. Taking a warm bath and drying off mimics that process.

A 2019 meta-analysis of 17 studies found that taking an evening bath at a temperature between 40 and 42.5 degrees Celsius will help you have better sleep quality.

Taking a shower close to bedtime can also help you feel cleaner before you crawl under the covers.

Showering at night helps wash away the day's grime, be it environmental pollutants, sweat or odors, says Dr. Singh.

Bathing at night also helps improve sleep quality.

People with dry skin or acne and eczema may also benefit from a good evening cleansing.

For people with dry or sensitive skin, bathing at night is the best way to help moisturize the skin, according to Daily Mail.

Researchers at the University of Texas (USA) have discovered that bathing 1 - 2 hours (preferably about 90 minutes) before going to bed, in warm water about 40 - 42.5 degrees Celsius can significantly improve sleep, according to the science news site Science Daily .

Long, hot showers may feel nice, especially in the winter, but hot water strips your skin of its natural oils and can leave it feeling dry and itchy. So protect your skin by keeping your shower to 5 to 10 minutes, according to WebMD .
