THINK ABOUT IT!
When you’re finished in the shower, it’s wise to towel off
with the curtains/doors still closed – the closed space traps
the water vapor in. As the vapor condenses, it keeps you
warm. But once you open up the curtains, all the gas will
escape and you’ll be left with water evaporating off of your
body, making you colder.
Fun FacT:
When you sweat, your body knows it’s too hot and
sweats in order to cool itself. The moisture produced by
your body evaporates and helps to cool off your skin.
