Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
-Use mild, warm water instead of hot water. Warm water relaxes your pores and makes it easier to wash your face, but hot water can cause your skin to dry out faster.
-Only use mild facial cleansers.
-Pat your skin dry.
-Apply a moisturizer after washing your face.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
