Wash your face with hot water. Is it really good to wash your face with hot water?

Although washing face is something we all do every day, not everyone washes their face in the right way. There are many differences in what kind of water to use to wash the face. Some people think that it is better to wash your face with hot water, especially in winter. Washing with hot water is not only clean but also warm. Do experts share this view? Is it good to wash your face with hot water? The following experts will give an answer to this question.

In the cold winter, of course everyone wants to wash their face with hot water, which will make people feel comfortable, and many people think that washing with hot water can make the face cleaner. So, is it really good to wash your face with hot water? In fact, it is not. Experts say that washing your face with too hot water can easily cause skin aging.

Experts point out that when washing your face in winter, although overheated water has a better dissolving effect on sebum, while washing away excess sebum on the face, it also washes away the sebum film that protects the face, easily making the skin dry and making the skin feel tight and uncomfortable.

Therefore, it is best to use warm water to wash your face in winter. The appropriate water temperature should be around 34°C, slightly higher than the skin temperature but lower than body temperature. Try it with your hand and you will feel warm but not hot. This warm water can cleanse the skin without causing any harm to the skin.

The correct way to wash your face is to use alternating warm and cold water. First, clean your face with warm water, and then apply cleanser (facial cleanser or soap, etc.) along the facial muscle texture. The time should not be too long, 3-4 minutes is appropriate. Then wash off the cleanser with warm water and finally rinse your face with cool water.

Experts say that this method of washing your face with alternating warm and cold water can not only cleanse the facial skin, but also, through the alternation of hot and cold water temperatures, can cause the superficial blood vessels of the skin to alternately expand and contract, thereby promoting blood circulation in the facial skin and achieving a beauty effect.

After reading the above experts’ introduction, we know that washing your face with hot water is not the correct way to wash your face. Overheated water can easily cause dry skin and make the skin age faster. The correct way should be to wash your face alternately with warm water and cold water. I hope that women who love beauty will not damage their skin because of temporary warmth.
