I used to take really hot showers, but they started to make me feel sick. I would always get really tired and dizzy in the shower, and I would feel awful. So now I take slightly cold showers. Not like freezing ice cube water or anything. Just slightly chilly so I can cool down.

Exactly, i once fainted when i was having a hot shower. So i am never doing that again lol
 
It really depends on how I'm feeling.

If I'm depressed, I'll take an ice cold shower and end up having to sit all bundled up like in winter to warm back up, but I weirdly feel better in the process.

If I'm tired or exhausted, hot. Steaming hot. Everyone I know says it's too hot, but it relaxes me and makes me feel better, and I feel cleaner too like you said! But the steam almost gives me asthma, so it's a give-take on shower temperature.
 
For me, it's always different. I'll usually take boiling hot showers, but I have taken ones in ice water because it 'felt a little too warm'.
 
Boiling hot water apparently. My feet would go all red, but if it's any cooler I would find it cold and uncomfortable.

My house is around 60-65 years old, so we have separate hot/cold water knobs that take forever to adjust.
 
I used to take piping hot baths/showers, I mean, I would stick my arm out from behind the curtain to grab the shower and my arm would be steaming, red hot skin. But then I went through a phase were I was very serious about the health my skin/hair and it changed everything lol. I would start off with my hair up so I could still take hot hot showers and then I'd wash my hair with like, luke warm water and then once it was clean I would just let it fall under ice cold water and then I'd get out. This led me to liking just the regular temp water for everything. When I wash my hair/face I try to get the water as cold as I can bare it. So uh... mixed? haha!
 
Depends what the weather is like. If it's really hot I like cold showers but most of the time I'll have a hot one.
 
Wow I'm surprised. Always thought that I was weird for taking boiling hot showers that almost suffocate me every time LOL.
 
I normally like the water to be as hot as I can tolerate it, and my new house has a gigantic hot water heater so I'll just stay in there and melt if I have enough time. The only situation where I prefer a colder shower is if I go for a long outdoor run in hot weather. Few things feel as amazing as a cascade of chilly water when you're burning hot and sweating.
 
i like hot, but i know that cold is good for people//

I have to have it cold sometimes because I get dandruff pretty easily. I have a really sensitive scalp, so I use lukewarm water or cold (not freezing though) water. I can never shower in boiling water because once I did that and I got really bad dandruff, I had to stay home. :(
wow that happens? weird
 
A lot of people in here are sado-masochistic.
 
I start off warm and then gradually turn it up to Molten Lead temperature
 
In general, warm water. If it's summer and my house is extremely hot, then it's the only time I go for a cold shower.
 
How hot are we talking about? I've mine at around 35?C for like 10 minutes and then I usually turn the heat to 0 just before I step out so I can think I'm being good for my skin and, most importantly, it isn't so cold when I step out.
 
I like the water cool. Not room temperature, and not freezing cold.

Hot showers are disgusting

I like them a warm temperature, a mix of hot and cold, but leaning towards the hot.

Hot and cold showers are painful on my skin.
