Why is warm water considered better than/recommended over cold water when washing your face?
In: 2
Cold water causes your pores to close up, meaning any dirt inside your pores doesn’t get removed.
Warm water is able to remove dirt and oil from the pores as well as the skin surface.
Oil viscosity decreases with temperature. Warm water loosens oily deposits on your skin, which frees whatever debris they trap, and makes it easer for detergents (soap) to bind with it.
Your skin is covered in pores, which are tiny holes in your skin that allow sweat, oil, and dead skin cells to come out. These pores can get clogged with dirt or oil, which can lead to acne or other skin conditions.
By using warm water when washing your face, you help to open up the pores and wash away the dirt and oil that has gotten stuck inside them. This can help to prevent breakouts and improve your overall skin health.
