Nocturnal Showers

On the other hand, those who shower in the evening are getting another benefit. According to Dr. Cook, they are “removing the pollution of the day.” She explains that environmental pollution can actually affect your skin, and says it “accumulates on the skin producing free radical damage and inflammation.”

At the same time, the doctor also says evening showers act as sort of a mental cleansing on top of cleansing your body. She says a satisfying shower makes you feel clean and washed off of the tension and stress of the day (a sort of inner pollution).
