What are the benefits of washing your face with cold water in winter?

Everyone knows that cold water has an astringent effect, and many girls with large pores deliberately use cold water to wash their faces in winter in order to shrink their pores. If you don't know the correct way to wash your face with cold water, it will only have the opposite effect. There is a lot of dirt in the pores on our face. If you wash your face directly with cold water, the pores will shrink and cannot be cleaned, causing acne to appear or worsen. Especially for people with oily skin, you should not use cold water to wash your face at the beginning. The correct way is to clean the pores with warm water first, and then rinse the face with cold water.

Proper skin cleansing should be able to clean without damaging the skin, and is the basis of skin care and beauty. The appropriate water temperature is an important condition for skin cleansing. Water temperatures that are too cold or too hot are not good for skin nourishment.

Water that is too cold (below 20°C) has an astringent effect on the skin, can exercise the skin and invigorate the spirit. However, long-term use of too cold water to cleanse the skin will cause skin blood vessels to constrict, making the skin pale and withered, sebaceous glands and sweat glands to secrete less, lose elasticity, and cause premature aging, which is not good for skin nourishment.

Excessively hot water (above 38°C) can relieve pain and dilate capillaries on the skin, but frequent use can cause the skin to defat, weaken the vitality of blood vessel walls, and cause skin pores to dilate, making the skin more likely to become loose and weak and develop wrinkles.

Girls with oily skin can choose foam cleansing products. The rich foam can bring out the dirt in the pores. Massage the key areas, that is, the T-shaped position, and rinse off the foam thoroughly. Finally, use cold water to cleanse your face. This will have a beauty effect. Wash your face with warm water that is not too hot, which helps to cleanse your face.
