While hot showers can feel relaxing and may help open up pores, there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that hot showers can effectively treat acne.
In fact, hot water can actually strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and potentially worsening acne.
It is usually recommended to use lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser to care for acne-prone skin.
