Let’s face it, we’re all guilty of washing our face with water that’s a wee bit too hot 😒 and whilst warmer water may feel nicer on the skin, it can actually strip your skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.
*Cue lukewarm water* 👉 Lukewarm water is not only a gentle and effective way of removing dirt and oil without causing damage to the skin’s natural protective barrier, but it’s also less likely to cause redness or irritation - yes we’re talking to our sensitive skin peeps out there.
So, next time you go to wash your face, think of this and turn that handle slightly.
