Does it make a difference to wash your face with warm or cold water when it comes to great skin?

i prefer warm. cold water closes your pores, so i would first use warm water to wash my face, then use cold water (in the form of a toner) to close the pores.

i consider also warm water to be ideal for my skin, i don't like much extreme temperatures. cold or hot temperatures turn my skin into a big red tomato

I usually wash my face with hot water and then splash my face a couple times with cold when i'm done.

 
i prefer to wash my face in warm water to get dirt and makup completely out and then I splash cold water on afterwards to close my pores.

 
I use warm at first, then when im done washing i use cold to close pores =)

 
Sometimes your cleanser will specify on the bottle, at least those with some type of exfoliating acid tend too. Mine recommends using cool water.

 
Aah I see. Thanks for sharing your hot/cold regimes...

I always wash my face with lukewarm water (when I am not taking a shower) to slightly cold. I was wondering about the pores indeed, that maybe they close when using a cold splash. Different opinions about that...

 
i heard the pores do not ACTUALLY close or open by changing temperatures. i prefer warm water as well, but when my skin is irritated,i use use cold

ITA!! I hate that pore myth!!!!!!

 
I wash mine with warm water, occasionally I might spash my face with a bit of cold water afterwards, for that nice refreshed feeling! lol

 
I have heard that using too hot or too cold water can harm skin and cause broken blood vessels and skin aging (hot water). I don't know for sure if it is true, but I just stay on the safe side and stick with luke warm water.

I agree, I love a splash of cold water after washing my face, it really wakes me up.
