Since it's winter, please dont use cold water while washing u're face.. this tightens the pores and closes them and without u're skin being cleansed is a bad idea!
Cleanse u're face with lukewarm water.. and rinse with a splash of cold water.. pat it dry (avoid using towels) pat it dry with a tissue and then apply u're toner (I keep mine in the fridge!) follow-up with a moisturiser.
