At the age of 32, he got off the single, and was said by his grandmother to wash his cold face to exercise his physique, and a month later, the handsome guy became crooked and cracked

【Fan letter】I am 32 years old and have always been single, on the one hand, because of my busy work, on the other hand, I have not met the right person. Until recently, I met a good-looking, handsome man. He is smart, has a sense of humor, and has a stable job. Our relationship is going well, and although we haven't known each other for long, I've decided to take him home to meet my grandmother. My grandmother was my primary caregiver in childhood, and every time I came home I would chat with her and listen to her tell stories about the past.

This time home was a bit long, and I planned to stay for three months. My boyfriend is also willing to accompany me, which gives me more confidence in our relationship. When I arrived home, everything didn't go as smoothly as I expected. My grandmother has a habit of washing her face with cold water, which she thinks will exercise her physique. And my boyfriend, in order to respect and cooperate with her, also began to receive such "exercises".

After about a month, I started noticing something unusual about my boyfriend. The corners of his mouth and eyes were a little crooked, and at first I thought he was just joking, but as time went on, the situation did not improve, but became more and more obvious. I immediately realized that this might be a symptom of some kind of disease, so I immediately took him to the hospital.

Washing your face is a basic hygiene habit in daily life, and many people choose to wash their faces with cold water to achieve a refreshing and pore shrinking effect. There is a saying that washing your face regularly with cold water can cause the mouth and eyes to be skewed and damage blood vessels, which has caused many people to worry and question. This article will explore this statement from a scientific perspective to uncover the truth.

First, the benefits and common misconceptions of washing your face with cold water

First of all, cold water helps to shrink pores and reduce the secretion of sebum, thereby reducing the likelihood of clogged pores and acne formation. At the same time, a cold wash brightens the complexion, leaving it looking refreshed and radiant. This is because cold water stimulates the skin's blood circulation, promotes blood flow, increases the skin's oxygen supply, and increases the skin's metabolic rate. These benefits make washing your face with cold water the first choice for many people.

Although the benefits of cold water face washing are widely recognized, there are still doubts about its potential negative effects. One of the common misconceptions is that washing your face with cold water can cause your mouth and eyes to skew and damage blood vessels. This claim lacks scientific basis and is not widely accepted in medicine.

Crooked mouth and eyes are usually caused by damage or inflammation of the facial nerves and are not directly related to the way the face is washed. Common causes of crooked mouth and eyes include viral infections of facial nerves, stroke, or trauma. These factors are independent of the temperature of the water used to wash your face. There is no causal relationship between washing the face with cold water and crooked eyes with the mouth.

Similarly, the claim that washing your face with cold water causes vascular damage is not fully supported by science. Vascular damage is usually caused by other factors such as trauma, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, etc. When washing the face with cold water, the blood vessels will temporarily contract, but this contraction is a physiological response, a normal regulatory process, and does not lead to long-term damage to blood vessels.

Second, the relationship between the cause of crooked mouth and eyes and washing the face with cold water

Crooked mouth and eyes, also known as facial paralysis, is a symptom caused by damage or inflammation of facial nerves. The most common causes include viral infections of the facial nerves (facial nerve), stroke, or trauma. It has nothing to do with the way you wash your face.

The facial nerves are the main nerves that control facial expression and movement, and when these nerves are damaged or inflamed, it can lead to the symptoms of crooked mouth and eyes. Common nerve injuries include viral infections of the facial nerve responsible for the movement of facial muscles, such as shingles virus infection, and cerebrovascular accidents, such as stroke. Trauma can also cause facial nerve damage, such as skull fractures or surgical procedures.

There is no scientific evidence of a direct relationship between face washing and facial washing, which is associated with crooked mouth and eyes. Face washing is usually not related to damage or inflammation of facial nerves. Crooked mouth and eyes are caused by damage or inflammation of the nerves, resulting in abnormal movement of facial muscles. Choosing cold water to wash your face does not directly lead to the occurrence of crooked eyes.

Certain forms of face washing, such as rubbing too hard or overstimulating the facial skin, may cause temporary muscle fatigue or nerve irritation, but this usually does not result in long-lasting crooked mouth and eyes. If symptoms of crooked mouth and eyes occur, a doctor's evaluation and advice should be sought to determine the specific cause and develop a corresponding treatment plan.

Third, the relationship between vascular damage and cold water face washing

Common causes of vascular damage include trauma, high blood pressure, and arteriosclerosis. Trauma is physical damage to a part of the body, such as a cut, stab or contusion. High blood pressure is a condition in which blood pressure is continuously elevated, which puts excessive pressure on blood vessels, gradually damaging their walls. Arteriosclerosis is the formation of plaque from cholesterol and lipids in the inner layers of arteries, causing the walls of blood vessels to harden and narrow.

In contrast to vascular damage, a cold wash of the face usually only temporarily constricts the blood vessels. This contraction is a temporary physiological response, and when exposed to cold water, blood vessels contract to limit heat loss. This contraction is not enough to cause damage to blood vessels. Normal blood vessels have the ability to self-regulate and adjust blood flow according to the needs of the body to maintain oxygen supply and blood supply to tissues.

If a person already has cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or other vascular problems, they may be more sensitive to temperature changes. In this case, washing your face with excessive cold water may cause excessive vasoconstriction, which can aggravate the symptoms. Individual differences and the impact of health conditions on cold water face washing also need to be considered.

Regular washing of the face with cold water does not lead to crooked mouth and eyes and damage to blood vessels. Crooked mouth and eyes are usually associated with damage or inflammation of facial nerves, while vascular damage is usually caused by other factors. The correct way to wash your face includes the use of warm water, and the health of your skin requires a holistic approach to care. You can safely continue to wash your face with cold water while paying attention to maintaining the overall health of your skin.
