My esthetician said to skip the hot water on my face for 30 days and I owe her an apology
Six weeks ago my esthetician in Oak Park told me to wash my face with lukewarm water only for a full month. I rolled my eyes because I love a hot shower and hot water feels like it actually cleans you. She said the heat strips oil and my redness would calm down if I just gave it 30 days. Around day 10 I still had the redness so I figured she was wrong. But by week 3 the dry patches around my nose were gone and my cheeks weren't blotchy after showers anymore. I did not expect water temp of all things to matter. Has anyone else had a simple change like this actually work, or did I just get lucky with the timing?
