What are the benefits of applying hot water to your face?

Female friends are more concerned about skin care, especially when the weather changes. They should pay more attention to hydration and moisturizing. Applying hot water to the face actually has certain moisturizing and skin care effects, which can make the skin softer and more delicate.

1. Autumn drives away the summer heat, but at the same time it also quietly takes away the moisture in our skin, making the face and neck dry. However, you don't have to make a fuss and bring all kinds of bottles and jars of cosmetics home. Just a hot towel can make your skin smooth and soft.

2. Wash your face first, then fold a towel or flannel into strips, soak it in 36℃-40℃ hot water, and apply it to the face and neck. If the towel cools down, soak it in hot water before applying it. This can open the pores on the face, dilate the blood vessels, and encourage blood to flow to the epidermis. When the skin becomes hot, the dust and dandruff on the epidermis will fall off. When the temperature of the hot compress cloth drops to skin temperature, the moisture on the skin surface stops evaporating, the stratum corneum will expand, and the skin will become soft and tender.

3. This method is suitable for people of all skin types, but you should pay attention to two issues. First of all, the water temperature should be different according to skin type. For people with oily skin, the water temperature should be consistent with body temperature. If the water temperature is too high, the pores will expand excessively, making it easy for dirt, oil, etc. to be absorbed by the skin, leading to skin infection and inflammation. For people with dry skin, the water temperature should be around 40 degrees Celsius. Secondly, control the time of facial mask. If you apply the hot towel to your face for too long, it will absorb water and take away the original moisture in your skin, making it drier. Therefore, it is advisable to control the facial mask time to about 5 minutes.

4. In addition, there is a simple and easy trick for autumn skin care: clean your face, pour boiling water into a basin, bury your face in the hot steam for 2-3 minutes, then apply toner and facial cream on your face, your skin will be smooth and elastic.
