The wrong way to wash your face will make the skin thinner, dry, and painful, and it will also accelerate the production of wrinkles, acne, and redness, and over time, you will be older than others. A scientific face wash is probably the most important way to care for your skin. Can washing your face alternately with hot and cold water really shrink pores? In fact, there is no scientific basis for this in clinical practice, and it is not recommended to do so. Washing your face with cold and hot water alternately may also cause damage to the skin. Let’s take a look at the precautions for washing your face together.

When washing your face, it is not advisable to continue to wash your face for too many times, and the time of washing your face should not be too long, which will easily lead to over-cleaning of the skin. After the skin's stratum corneum is over-saturated with moisture, the skin will experience maceration, lack of barrier protection, and gradually become sensitive skin.

Washing your face with alternating hot and cold water will not shrink pores and will damage the stratum corneum of our skin. The alternating hot and cold water can stimulate the microcirculation of the skin, thus bringing more possibilities for the penetration of subsequent skin care products. It has nothing to do with the smaller pores. If the temperature difference is too large, it may increase the sensitivity of the skin.

Oily skin is not because of lack of water, but because of excessive secretion of oil glands. It is recommended to use products containing salicylic acid and fruit acid.

Dry skin is not because of lack of water, but because it is difficult to absorb water. Try to use as little cleansing products as possible to wash your face, and simply clean it.

The foundation type sunscreen needs to be removed, and the general sunscreen can be washed.

Do not wash your face with a towel. The towels in the bathroom are easy to breed bacteria and cause microbial contamination of the face. It is recommended to wash your face directly instead of using a towel.

Do not wash your face with milk. Many people think that milk is rich in protein, which can moisturize the skin and whiten the skin, but in fact, the protein is not directly absorbed by the face. Proper face washing is the key to good skin. Instead of spending a lot of time and money to go to the beauty salon for skin care, it is better to correctly understand the misunderstandings of washing your face, correct the wrong way of washing your face, and wash your face correctly every day.
