There's no right or wrong answer, according to Dr. Verovic. "First things first, you shouldn't be taking super long hot showers because it dries out your skin, so you should apply that same line of thinking to your face. If you spend a long time cleansing or exfoliating your skin—whether it’s mechanical or chemical—you wouldn’t want to do that in the shower. Maybe you take quick showers and, sometimes, it’s more convenient for you to do your skincare. In that case, if it works for you, then do it." Dr. Patricia Farris expresses the same sentiments, adding, "It doesn’t matter where you wash your face, as long as you wash it twice a day."
I've noticed that less than a hour after I take a shower my face gets flaky. I put some lotion or Aquaphor on but if it's cold and dry it might not be much help.
I like a hot shower, very warm. Not burning by any means. But hot for me might be burning for someone else. The showers I take are quick and hot. Especially in the winter. Anyone who showers in lukewarm water in the New England winter is a warrior to me.
