To perform the technique of splashing water on the face, Dr Shetty said that you can follow these simple steps:

*Start by filling a bowl or sink with cool or lukewarm water. Make sure the water is not too hot, as hot water can irritate and dry out the skin.
*Lean over the bowl or sink and submerge your face in the water. Alternatively, you can dip a clean washcloth or small towel in the water and use it to splash your face.
*Splash the water on your face gently and evenly, using your hands or the washcloth/towel. Make sure to cover your entire face, including your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.
*If desired, you can repeat the splashing a few times to ensure that your face is thoroughly refreshed and cool.
*Pat your face dry with a clean towel or let it air-dry naturally.

Dr Shetty said that the benefits may vary from person to person and it is important to listen to your skin’s needs. “Always seek out individualised guidance from a dermatologist if you have certain skin issues or conditions. It’s important to note that everyone’s skin is different, so if you experience any discomfort or irritation while splashing water on your face, you may want to adjust the temperature or pressure of the water or try a different method of refreshing your skin,” he concluded.
