5 common face washing mistakes that you should avoid
Hot water
Having water too hot or even too cold can over dry the skin, which in turn can cause the over production of sebum making it greasy, and as a result, spotty.
Dr Dharamshi said: 'Water should be warm, very often people use water that is too hot or cold.
'If the water is too hot it can damage the skin, it can cause redness and it over dries the skin. It also damages the skin barrier.'
Lukewarm water is the happy balance for washing your face, according to experts.
Although some people use hot water to open the pores and then cold water to close the pores, Dr Dharamshi claims this doesn't actually work.
In fact, she goes as far to say that opening your pores is technically impossible.
