Most of us wash our face twice a day, we also have our weekly masks and scrubs. We put the cleansers on and wash it off. But did you know that hot and cold water have different effects on your skin? If you are using water at the wrong temperature or in the wrong order, you might not be cleaning your skin as well as you think you are.
Hot water opens up the pores, whereas cold water closes them. Before you apply cleanser on your face, you need to open up your pores by washing your face with hot water. Alternatively, you can use a steam bath or a hot moist towel to do the same thing. After cleansing your face with hot water, you must follow up with cold water to close the pores and finish the process. If you don't close the pores, oil and dirt will accumulate more easily by entering the pores. As a final stage, don't forget to use a toner to shrink the pores.
Bir cogumuz yuzumuzu gunde iki kez yikiyoruz, bir de her hafta maskeler uyguluyoruz. Yuz temizleyicisini suruyoruz ve su ile yikiyoruz. Ama sicak ve soguk suyun cildinizde farkli etkileri oldugunu biliyor muydunuz? Eger yanlis derecede su, ve yanlis sirada kullanirsaniz, yuzunuzu sandiginiz gibi temizlemiyor olabilirsiniz.
Sicak su gozenekleri acar ve soguk su kapatir. Yuzunuze temizleyici surmeden once, sicak su ile yikayarak gozenekleri acmaniz lagzim. Bunu sicak su yerine, sicak buhar, yada sicak nemli bir havlu ile de yapabilirsiniz. Yuzunuzu sicak su ile temizledikten sonra, soguk su ile takip ederek gozeneklerinizi kapatin. Eger gozenekleri kapatmazsaniz, iclerinde yag ve kir'in birikmesi daha kolay olur. En son olarak da bir toner ile gozenekleri iyici kucultmeyi unutmayin.
The same idea goes for hair care as well. After washing your hair with shampoo and rinsing off your conditioner, turn on the cold water and rinse your hair with that as the final stage. This will close the hair cuticles and lock in the moisture. It will not dry out as much. I have seen great benefit from it myself.
Try these tips the next time you wash your face and hair. I'm sure you will see the difference!
Ayni mantik, sac bakimi icin de gecerli. Sacinizi sampuanla yakiyip, sac kremini de yikadiktan sonra, soguk suyu acin ve en son onunla yikayin. Bu sac uclarinin kapanmasini saglar ve nemi icinde hapseder. Saciniz fazla kurumaz. Kendim bu yontemden cok buyuk fayda gordum.
Yuzunuzu ve sacinizi bir dahaki yikamanizda bunlari deneyin. Eminim farki goreceksiniz!

great post and great tips. I knew that about cold water, but I just cant stand it.. even when it's summer, I hate it and always doing everything with hot water. I get out of tub red like fire, but I cant help myself lol
Hi Melitta!
About using cold water on the face, I think you will get a similar effect by using "cooler" water. It doesn't necessarily have to be ice cold, just cooler than what you washed your faced with fist. Especially if your skin is used to hot water, your pores should still contract to a smaller size when you use a cooler water.
Some beauty experts feel that water should not be used at extreme temperatures. Especially if the skin is really sensitive. Really hot water or really cold water has a shock effect. I don't think there is a verdict on this though.
There are quite a few athletes and body builders who actually use this shock effect on their body to quicken healing of ripped muscles.
It could also have negative effects however. Someone with arthritis for example, will make their condition worse when using really cold water on body parts afflicted with arthritis or rheumatism.
So do what's right for you!
