Shower water is too hot
Shower water is too hot First off, it all comes down to how hot the water is. You probably prefer to shower in hot-hot water, but that's not really good for your complexion.

"I recommend that my patients wash their faces at the sink [instead]," explained Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi to The Gloss. "[You can gauge the temperature more effectively] and should use lukewarm to cold water, which is better for delicate faces."
