When washing your face with water it's best to use lukewarm water and not cold or hot water.

So run the water with half hot water and half cold water to get warm water and not overly hot or too cold.

The cold water will not tighten your pores and overly hot water can dehydrate your skin on your face so use the warm water for best results.

If you have redness on your face use cool but not cold water on your face to help constrict blood vessels which helps reduce the redness on your face.

I use warm water to wash my face and then use some moisturizing lotion on my face to help keep my skin from drying out and also use an exfoliating face wash to help clean the skins pores.
