Is it better to wash your face with warm water or cold water?

Washing our face is something we have to do every day, but often people don’t pay much attention to and understand the methods and techniques of washing the face, such as what are the steps of washing the face, or whether to choose warm water or cold water when washing the face. Everyone should pay attention to the issue, because only by paying more attention to these methods and techniques can we achieve the best skin cleansing effect.

1 The water temperature for cleansing should be 30℃. Whether to wash your face with hot water, warm water or cold water varies from person to person. Simply put, people with non-oily or combination skin should wash their faces with warm water above 30°C, but below body temperature. Use your hands to feel the warmth, but not burning. This warm water can not only easily wash away facial dust, but also open the pores, which is beneficial for deep cleansing of the skin. Be careful not to make the water temperature too hot. When it exceeds the normal body temperature, the vitality of the facial blood vessel walls will weaken, and the skin will easily become loose, weak, dry, and wrinkled.

2 Wash your face with cold water after cleansing. When washing your face, first use warm water to knead the cleanser into foam, apply it to the face, and gently massage for 1 minute, focusing on the T-zone area. Rinse off the foam thoroughly and wash your face with cold water. Cold water can enhance blood circulation and improve skin elasticity. Using this method of washing your face alternately with warm and cold water can not only clean the facial skin, but also cause the superficial blood vessels of the skin to dilate and contract, which is beneficial to the beauty maintenance of the facial skin.

3 People with oily skin should not use cold water. People with oily skin should not use cold water, as cold water can shrink the pores and cannot clean the large amount of sebum, dust and cosmetic residues accumulated on the face. Not only can it fail to achieve a beauty effect, but it can cause acne or aggravate skin problems such as acne.

The above is about the choice of water temperature for washing your face. I wonder if you have ever paid attention to these issues in your daily life? In fact, if we want to better cleanse and maintain our skin, we should pay attention to these daily tips and common sense, so that they can have better effects on skin health.
