Hot, Cold and Face

Hot water may feel like its cleansing your skin more thoroughly, but stick to lukewarm water when washing your face.
Water that is too hot can alter the skin's natural oils and leave your complexion overly dry. Lukewarm water is equally effective, much more gentle on the skin.

After cleansing, use cool water as a final rinse and pat gently with a clean towel. Follow up with toner, moisturizer or night cream shortly after drying your face to lock in moisture.

Always apply a moisturizer and soap, cleansing cream/milk in upward strokes on the skin. Even when patting dry with a towel, pat in upward direction to delay wrinkles, these upward strokes help keep the skin tight.
