Wiping does not suffice for ritual bathing (). Rather, it is necessary to pour water over the entire body so that it covers it completely, because flowing water over the entire body is one of the pillars of ghusl, and it is a condition for the validity of prayer. To avoid harm, one can warm the water, cover oneself after ghusl, and moisturize the limbs.
