Bathing: Pros

• Bathing allows you to immerse yourself in different solutions, such as epsom salts and scented bubbles, that may help with skin conditions and body aches. Make sure you don’t run the water too hot and consider using moisturizer on your skin after you’re done drying yourself off.

• If you have sore muscles from exercising or physical ailments, the ability to sit in warm water can be a huge stress and pain reliever. This can also be a cozy source of warm comfort in the cold Red Oak winters.

Cons

• If you take a long bath with warm or hot water, it can actually dry out your skin. This can be a real problem for people with skin issues such as psoriasis.

• In general, using a bathtub requires more gallons of water than a short shower. If you’re trying to reduce your environmental footprint or save money on water costs, a bath might not be the way to go.

Showering: Pros

• Fast and convenient. Simply stated, showers take hardly any time at all. It might just take you a few minutes for you to clean up and move on to the next thing.

• Less water use. If you take a regular shower, that is, one that isn’t extremely long, you’ll be using a lot less water than a normal bathtub takes to fill.

  Cons

• Not as relaxing and indulgent as a bath. The streams of water don’t offer as much enveloping, warm comfort to your body as relaxing in a bathtub would.

If you’re torn about which bathing solutions is best for your bathroom remodel, you don’t have to choose. Depending on the size of your bathroom, you an install both a standing shower and a soaker tub, or you can install a tub/shower combo and enjoy the best of both worlds
