You know, I love that idea. More than simply feeling nice, a hot steamy washcloth opens up the facial pores, too, or so it seems to me. It's functionally better.

It's funny because I had exactly the opposite (in a way) experience. I always hated cold washcloths and splashing cold water on my face.

Last year, I tried a thought experiment. I simply decided I was going to like those things. Much to my amusement it actually worked. I literally just talked myself out of not liking it.

I've been able to accomplish that with a few other trivial things, but not others, and not with anything really major.
