We love a restorative shower for its head-clearing, muscle-relaxing power. But that long, hot shower that starts or ends your day might not be doing your skin any favors. Too much hot water can actually be bad for our bodies, so don't shower too often -- if you're not active, you can cut back to a few times a week. If you're taking a shower in the morning and then working out and taking another after the gym, you should be conscious not to take too long. "On occasion, there may be a reason to shower twice a day," says Dr. Jessica Krant, a board-certified dermatologist, "but those should be extremely short showers."
