How are you supposed to PROPERLY wash your face?

Question

With cold water or lukewarm? I heard that you wash your face with lukewarm water, but you should also use cold water sometimes...i'm kind of confused..any suggestions?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I would say lukewarm to warm water. Any bacteria should be killed off by your soap, and using cold water is just going to shock your skin, causing redness and/or dryness. About the same temp or slightly cooler than comfortable bath water? That's a good temp to use.

Answer 2

The best way to properly wash your face is to first rinse it with luke warm water so that it opens up the pores, then use a soap free face wash so that the skins natural oils are not drained out. Trust me oily faces are caused due to excessive use of soaps which dry off the skin and cause it to produce more oil. After washing it with the face wash rinse it off with warm water again and then rinse under cold water to close off the pores that are enlarged due to the warm water. Also apply a mask of 3 tablespoons of white yoghurt mixed with a teaspoon of honey to your face and leave for 1 hour. Do this 2ice a week to keep your skin in a good condition

Answer 3

You use warm water to open up pores for cleaning, and finish using cold water to close them back up again. Also, don't use abrasive cloths which can irritate skin and inflame acne (if you have any). Gently rub your face with your finger tips.

Answer 4

I've always used cold water and Ive hardly have pimple. I think using warm water tend to open the pore and that means you get pimples. That what I think...??

Answer 5

I don't think that there is a certain way to wash your face.Just like there isn't a certain way to bathe.I know that saop isn't good for your face b/c it dries it out.
