Rinse your face several times with warm and then cold water. Warm water widens the pores, while cold water narrows them. However, washing the face with too cold or too hot water is not recommended.

If you have dry skin, wash your face with soft room temperature water. It is recommended to use the facial cleanser at most once a week. The exceptions are special foams and gels with a therapeutic effect, designed specifically for dry skin.
For oily skin you can use any cleanser 2 times a week: morning and evening. After washing, apply a nourishing cream on the skin, and after 20-30 minutes, remove the residue with a paper towel.
