: Why do we sweat sometimes just after taking a shower
In: Biology
There are two reason that usually combine along with the hot environmental temperature (happened to me only during summers)
Too hot water when showering that makes skin too hot and needs some minutes to cool down
And/or friction with the towel that makes skin hot.
In my case, I take hot showers usually but changed to cooler ones during hot weather to stop that effect from happening.
Probably a combination of the water being too hot and the humidity in your house being high (likely partially due to the steam from you shower)
Is this a real question?
You’re showering in hot water. It makes you hot. When we get hot, we sweat to cool off.
That’s a sign the water was warm and warmed you up enough so your body started to cool itself down. Same as on a hot day.
It’s like when you do physical exercise. Sweat is a natural way for your body to cool down. So when you get out of a shower and you’re still hot, your body will sweat to lower your body temp. It seems counter intuitive since the sweat itself may seem hot, but still the skin opening it’s pores will help cool you down.
I actually always turn the water down to not quite cold but not quite lukewarm either for a few minutes before I get out of the shower to get my body temperature down
Because the hot water, you sweat when exposed to heat, it won’t stop the second you step out of the shower

This is why I try a cold shower, even if only for the last few seconds of rinsing, right before stepping out and drying.
Also keeps the steam inside in check, you could immediately use the mirror.
Are you working out before? That’s probably why
