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

[ivette]

i was told that the water should be lukewarm

[msmack]

I think you're right..

[BrookeG]

I've heard that warm water is the key. It's supposed to open up the pores slightly which is supposed to be good for cleansing I think??? I'm no expert

This is what I have always been told from the time I was a teenager in charm school

I use warm water to wash my face! The only time I rinse my face with cold water is when I take an extremely hot shower and I need to cool off!

[CoverGirl]

I use slightly warm water, unless my cleanser specifies otherwise.

It's best to use warm water when cleansing your face because cold water doesn't dissolve the leftover traces of dirt in your skin. Hot water is no good, either, because it will make your skin more dry over time.

Washing with very cold or hot water can shock or burn the skin which can cause mild skin irritation and irritation is generally not a good thing...that is why I always wash with tepid water.

[bronze_chiqz]

i'll wash with tepid water- moderate cold usually( For sume reason alternating warm and cold seems to give me breakouts)

[sweetsugar]

Not too cold or too hot, anything extreme is not good for your skin. So I would say lukewarm!
