🌿 Softens Sebum (Oil) – Why It Matters in Skincare

Sebum is the natural oil your skin produces to protect and moisturize itself. While it plays an essential role in keeping your skin healthy, excess sebum can mix with dirt, sweat, and dead skin cells, leading to clogged pores and breakouts.

Using lukewarm water before cleansing helps to soften this oil, making it easier to:

Dissolve excess oil without stripping the skin
Allow your cleanser to penetrate deeper into the pores
Gently loosen and remove buildup without harsh scrubbing
Prepare your skin for better absorption of treatments and moisturizers

🔥 Why Not Hot Water?

Hot water might feel like it melts oil faster, but it can actually strip away too much, leading to irritation, dryness, or even triggering your skin to produce more oil to compensate.
