Is Cold Water the Key to Face Washing?

A lot of people think cold water is the key to a perfect face wash, but dermatologists say it's not.

A new study from the University of South Florida says that hot water is the best way to get clean and remove dirt and oil from your skin.
The study found that hot water helps break down oils on the skin, which helps you get rid of dirt and make-up more easily.

The study also found that warm water can be abrasive on the skin, causing irritation or redness. Hot water can also dry out your skin if you're washing for too long.

So what about cold water? It seems like it would be better for sensitive skin since it only needs to be warmed up before use, but dermatologists say that's not true either. Cold water can dry out your skin even more than hot water, leaving it vulnerable to infection or other problems. If you have sensitive skin, stick with warm or lukewarm water when washing your face!
