The truth is your shower can be toxic - chlorine in water, chemicals in soap products, off-gassing by vinyl shower curtains and most of all...mold! This does not mean that you should stop taking showers, but it does mean that you should be aware of hidden toxins in your daily experience. Steamy showers can cause your skin become to become dry and the cracks in your skin could absorb chlorine. And if your space remains humid after a shower, it can cause mold issues which will trigger asthma and respiratory problems. Make sure that your space is adequately vented and get a shower filter to limit chlorine exposure. Learn more about Health Effects Of Your Shower
Love this tip! I got asthma and I used to take only cold showers. Time to return to that practice.
