Should I wash my face with cold or hot water?

For people with different skin types, how should you choose the temperature of the face wash?
First, oily skin
For people with oily skin, the sebaceous glands produce a lot of oil, which makes the face particularly greasy, and a lot of oil is present in the pores.
If cleaned with cold water, the oil is difficult to dissolve, and it will accumulate on the face and pores, aggravating the oily skin phenomenon.

For such people, you should choose a face wash with the same body temperature as your own body temperature or 1 to 2 degrees higher, such as a face wash of about 35 to 36 degrees, which is basically the same as the temperature of the human skin and epidermis.
Third, dry skin
Dry skin facial oil is not much, if you wash your face with hot water, you will wash away all the oil on your face, and it is easy to appear dry, scaly and peeling of facial skin.
For this type of person, the temperature of the face wash is good with cold water.
Alternating hot and cold water, can you stretch pores?

After washing your face, remember to dry it in time
Many people believe that after washing the face, let the moisture stay on the face for a longer time, can play a role in hydration and moisturization.
