Should I wash my face with cold water in cold winter?

It is better to wash your face with warm water than cold water in cold winter. It is best to wash your face with warm water at 30℃ in winter. This is because washing your face with overheated water will completely remove the protective film on your skin, which will easily lead to loose skin, coarse pores and rough skin. Washing your face with cold water will close the pores of your face and can't completely remove dirt such as sebum and dust from your face.

The correct way to wash your face in winter:

1, the water temperature is 30℃ when cleansing.

Whether to wash your face with hot water, warm water or cold water varies from person to person. Simply put, people with non-oily skin and mixed skin should wash their faces with warm water above 30℃, but below body temperature. Try it with your hands. It feels warm, not hot. This warm water can not only easily wash away the floating dust on the face, but also open pores, which is conducive to the deep cleaning of the skin. Be careful not to overheat the water temperature. When the body temperature exceeds the normal temperature, the vitality of the facial blood vessel wall will be weakened, and the skin will easily become slack, dry and wrinkled.

2. Wash your face with cold water after cleansing.

When washing your face, first rub the cleansing product with warm water to foam it, apply it to your face, and gently massage it for 1 min, focusing on the T-shaped part. Rinse the foam thoroughly and finally wash your face with cold water. Cold water can enhance blood circulation and improve skin elasticity. This method of washing face alternately with warm water and cold water can not only clean facial skin, but also dilate and contract superficial blood vessels of the skin, which is beneficial to the beauty maintenance of facial skin.

People with oily skin should not use cold water.

Cold water is not suitable for oily skin. Cold water will shrink pores and can't clean a lot of sebum, dust and cosmetic residues accumulated on the face. Not only can it not achieve the cosmetic effect, but it will cause acne or aggravate skin problems such as acne.

4. Don't use washbasin and wet towel.

It is best not to use a washbasin when washing your face. The water in the washbasin is not flowing water, and the dirty things on your face and hands will be washed into the water. Washing your face with such water won't clean your skin. So wash your face with running water. Wash your hands first, then wash your face. Use a dry towel when you wash your face and dry it, because wet towels may become breeding grounds for various microorganisms. Wiping your face with this towel is tantamount to washing your face for nothing.
