What are the benefits of washing your face with hot water

People wash their faces with water every morning and evening, mainly to clean the facial skin and make people look cleaner and tidier. Nowadays, most people, regardless of gender, do not use some facial cleansers to deeply cleanse their facial skin when washing their faces. So when cleaning your facial skin, what water temperature should you use? Some people would say that washing your face with hot water has more benefits. Next, let’s analyze some of the benefits of washing your face with hot water.

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.

4. Do not use washbasins and wet towels.

It is best not to use a washbasin when washing your face. The water in the basin is not flowing water, and the dirt on your face and hands will be washed into the water. Washing your face with such water will not have the effect of cleansing the skin. Therefore, you should use running water when washing your face, wash your hands first, and then wash your face.

The above is a detailed introduction to the benefits of washing your face with hot water and the precautions when washing your face for different skin types. I believe some people have a certain understanding of the issue of washing face, which is essential in people's daily life. In addition, for people with dry and rough skin, you can also add some salt to the water when washing your face, which can have the effect of exfoliating dead skin.
