It is said that washing your face with cold water can help shrink pores and strengthen the skin. So, can women really wash their faces with cold water?

The answer is no. 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.

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, reduce the secretion of sebaceous glands and sweat glands, lose elasticity, and cause premature aging, which is not conducive to 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.

The appropriate water temperature should be around 34°C, slightly higher than the skin temperature but lower than the body temperature. When you try it with your hand, it should feel 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.

The correct way to wash your face is to use alternating warm and cold water, that is: wash your face with warm water → apply cleanser (facial cleanser or soap, etc.) along the facial muscle texture. The time should not be too long, 3-4 minutes is appropriate → wash off the cleanser with warm water → rinse your face with cold water.

Using this method of alternating warm and cold water can not only achieve the purpose of cleansing the skin, but also through the hot and cold temperature changes of the water, it can make the superficial blood vessels of the skin expand and contract, enhance the skin's breathing, and promote blood circulation in the face.
