Many of us like to take a shower after a flight to refresh ourselves when they return home. But those who take a hot bath can actually do more harm than kebaina for their bodies, said shower specialist at Vidalux, Andy Ellis, quoted from the Mirror, on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.

The cabin air is dry and sitting for a long time when the flight puts pressure on the body. Bathing in hot water can put extra pressure on the skin.

"After the flight, our skin is dry enough and dehydrated because of the low humidity on the plane. Bathing in hot water can worsen the condition because hot water will remove the body's natural oil," he said.

Not only that, but hot water can also cause blood vessels to enlarge. This can worsen swelling and blood circulation problems.

"Hot water also causes blood vessels to enlarge, which can worsen existing swelling and blood circulation problems after flying," he added.

Therefore, it is recommended to take a bath with cold water or steam nails after the flight. Steam water will provide the same fresh sensation, even better beneficial for dry skin and blood circulation.

This doesn't mean you can't take a shower. As long as you use cold water or steam nails after the flight, you'll be fine," concluded Andy Ellis.
