Is it good to wash your face with cold water in winter?

I believe that when the cold winter comes, many friends will feel very uncomfortable when they accidentally touch cold water. However, some friends still use cold water to wash their faces. It is said that this has a better beauty-enhancing effect on our skin because it can promote better metabolism and circulation on our face. But is this really the case? So is it good to wash your face with cold water in winter? In order to better solve this problem, let us discuss it together.

Whether to wash your face with hot water, warm water or cold water varies from person to person.

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.

I believe that through the above discussion, our friends have a deeper understanding and cognition on the question of whether they can wash their faces with cold water in winter. Of course, I would also like to remind everyone again that because winter is relatively cold, we should pay more attention to keeping warm, especially for female friends during menstruation. Once they catch a cold, it may cause symptoms of uterine cold.
