Is it harmful to wash your face with tap water?

Now in my country, except for some remote mountainous areas, most places have tap water, which ensures the safety of everyone's food, because tap water is treated and purified, and fully meets the standards for water use. Moreover, many people not only use tap water for cooking, but also use it for washing their faces and clothes, etc. So let's take a look at whether washing your face with tap water is harmful?

First, is it harmful to wash your face with tap water? Washing your face with tap water for a long time will remove the oil and make your skin rough. It will harm the skin. The first thing to talk about is the water temperature for washing your face. Some people are just too lazy to get some hot water, so they just wash their face with cold water. Some people have oily skin, so they wash their face with very hot water. In fact, the most suitable thing is to use warm water, not too cold or too hot. This ensures that the pores are fully open without causing excessive loss of the skin's natural moisturizing oils.

Second, when washing your face, no matter what kind of facial cleanser you use, don’t use too much, and a good facial cleanser doesn’t require that much. Before applying to your face, lather the cleanser in the palm of your hand. Many people forget this step, but it is the most important one. Because if the cleanser does not foam sufficiently, it will not only fail to achieve the cleaning effect, but may also remain in the pores and cause acne. Of course, the more foam the better, but don't think that a lot of foam is good. Fake and inferior facial cleansers can also have rich foam.

Third, after applying the foam on your face, massage gently in clockwise circles. When washing, some women are afraid that they cannot wash it thoroughly, so after rinsing with water, they scrub it vigorously with a towel. This is indeed a bit rough on the delicate skin, so it is still necessary to use a wet towel to gently press on the face so as not to hurt the skin.

Is it harmful to wash your face with tap water? Today's tap water treatment technology is acceptable, and most tap water disinfection no longer uses bleach, so it does not cause any harm to the skin. It is recommended that you turn on the faucet and let it run for a few seconds before using it, because the water in the faucet is prone to produce bacteria.
