Can I wash my face with cold water if I have acne?

Having acne on your face must be very uncomfortable, especially for girls who love beauty, it is simply unacceptable to have acne on their face. When acne occurs, you will definitely pay attention to some small problems. In the summer, when the weather is hot, you usually use cold water to wash your face. If you have acne, you are very worried that the face will be stimulated by cold water, which will further aggravate the acne. So, can you wash your face with cold water if you have acne? Let’s take a closer look below.

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. Especially for oily skin, if you use cold water to wash your face for a long time, the "cold nature" will shrink the pores and make it impossible to wash away the sebum, dust, cosmetic residues and other dirt accumulated on the face. Not only will it fail to achieve a beauty effect, but it will easily cause skin diseases such as acne, affecting beauty.

Washing your face with water at 34℃ is the most suitable water temperature for skin care. The water temperature should be around 34℃, which is slightly higher than the skin temperature but lower than the body temperature. Try it with your hand, it feels warm but not hot. This warm water can not only cleanse the skin, but also has a calming effect on the skin, which is conducive to skin rest and fatigue relief without causing any harm to the skin.
