After applying a mask, should I wash with cold water or warm water? Warm water is the best for skin care.

It’s summer again, and it’s time to happily apply facial masks. I believe many young ladies have already stocked up on the masks they are going to use. Some thick smear-type facial masks require washing your face after application. So should you use cold water or warm water?

Should I wash my face with cold or warm water after applying the mask?

If you want to wash your face after applying the mask, just use warm water, because water that is too high or too low in temperature will damage the stratum corneum.

What should you pay attention to when washing your face after applying a facial mask?

Make sure the cleansing towel is dry

We all know that damp places are most likely to breed bacteria. So if the cleansing sponge or towel you use to wash your face in winter is damp, then this tool will no longer be able to help you clean the surface, and may even bring many microorganisms to your face. When washing your face, the cleansing towel or sponge must be kept dry so that the cleansing work can be effective. Therefore, every time after cleansing and washing your face, you need to hang the towel or cleansing sponge in a ventilated place to dry it quickly.

Do not rub your skin too much

Do not rub your skin excessively when washing your face after applying a mask, because one side of your face has already been washed before applying the mask. At this time, you only need to rinse off the remaining acne-causing and risky ingredients. In addition, excessive rubbing of the skin can cause damage to the epidermal keratin and lipids, thereby destroying the epidermal barrier function and putting the skin at risk from mechanical, light, chemical components, bacteria, etc. Experiments have shown that one of the causes of melasma is excessive friction of the skin. So, every time you wash your face, be careful not to rub too much.
