Should I wash my face with Hot Water?
From personal experience, hot water causes a lot of unnecessary irritation. I've been doing research on the topic, and I found that hot water actually closes your pores. It's weird because most people believe that warm and hot water actually opens the pores. However, this doesn't hold true.
Should I wash my face with Warm Water?
For the past 5 years, I have been washing my face with warm water. It's my personal favorite, and in my opinion, causes the least amount of irritation. My recommendation to you is to use warm water.
Should I wash my face with Cold Water?
Like hot water, cold water can be very irritating to the skin. Cold water actually opens the skin's pores. Originally, it was thought the exact opposite.
Warm water closes pores, cold water opens pores.
I was watching this video: Hot vs. cold water when washing the face. According to Dan, warm water closes pores, while cold water opens pores. Dan also notes that it really doesn't make too big of a difference when it comes to the temperature of the water that you use when washing your face.
Acne Teen Recommendation
So should you wash your face with warm or cold water? I recommend using whatever makes you and your skin comfortable. If cold water works best for you, then use cold water. If warm water works best for you, then use warm water, and so on. I personally like warm water, but again, I recommend using whatever makes you and your skin comfortable.
