I gave up washing my face with cleanser in the mornings and it’s changed my skin ten fold. Here’s why: + Brief experiences with cold water, particularly when the cold hits the face and nose, sends a message to the vagus nerve, which stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system known as the rest and relaxation system. It instantly brightens and calms the skin and resets my nervous system with every cold splash.  + Cold water contracts blood vessels and acts as an alcohol-free astringent so skin is left tighter and less red. Hot water strips oil so if in dry climates, opt for cold to keep whatcha got. + Puffiness be gone. This is a great technique after a little wine, a long flight or anIgood cry. Increased blood flow helps skin fight off free radicals and gives the skin a morning glow. Try this ‘splash technique’ for one week (especially if you have cystic acne) and report back! 🫶🏼 #skinowl #skinowledge #skincaretips
