If you are chilly outside the shower stall, why do you feel warm alter the bath if you stay in the bathroom? (AS7)

We feel warm after we finish our bath under the shower. The reason for this could be that in the bathroom, the number of vapor molecules per unit volume is relatively greater than the number of vapour molecules per unit volume outside the bathroom. Hence, when we try to dry ourselves with a towel, the vapour molecules surrounding us condense on our skin. This condensation is what which makes us feel warm.
