I have always thought that if you use cold water then you're body will try to climatise by increasing your internal temperature so you will feel warmer or am I just making this up. Please help to dissolve my confusion!

There is no easy way to stay warm when you exit the shower. If you turn the heat up in your house and take a warm shower then when you step out the room should be warmer than the shower was. Using cold water or hot water would still create a major temperature change and thus your body would still feel some form of chill. It's the same thing when you go outside on a scaulding hot day and can still manage to get chills due to wind or some temperature variant. But there's really no easy solution so play around with the temperature of the water as well as the temperature of the rooom

In my experience with baths and showers the hotter the water the warmer you will be when you get out.. I think that the hot water helps to heat up your body so when you get out you will be better able to maintain your body temperature which is 36 degrees celcius. Also close any windows or air vents which may be open...

you can use cold water or warm water.... using cold water will make you feel warm when you get out of the shower, I tell you so because i had the same problem before and decided to use cold water first. And when I came out of the shower I felt warm somehow, than when I used hot water...
hope this helps...c;

Personally i find using a dressing gown is better.
Really i don't think it matters if you use hot of cold water. it's the temperature of the environment your in that counts.
As the water on your body cools it kind of sucks the heat out of you. so always best to dry quickly.
I take it your thinking of the hot/cold/luke warm test you do at school. the one where you put one hand in hot water, the other in cold. then put them in luke warm water. The hot hand freezes and the cold burns hot. but it's only temporary.

Yes you will feel warmer when you get out from a cold shower, but not until you dry all the cold water off.

Using cold water will drop your internal body temp so you will get the chills when you get out.
Use hot water.

use hot water, it heats the body up. if you use cold it will reduce the bodies temp and will take a while to re-heat
