cold water vs hot
Wash your face with cold water over hot!
Washing your face with cold water is preferred to give your skin the best appearance. Using cold water on the skin will cause the skin to vasoconstrict. When we use steam, we are driving the pores to vasodilate. It will leave the skin red and the pores will seem more prominent as they are dilated. It is best only when a professional is performing extractions.
Always always always opt for cold water when you can!
