Do you ever splash water on your face to calm down or compose yourself?

I see it on TV shows and in movies. Something distressing happens and the person excuses themseves to the bathroom and splashes water on their face to help compose themselves.

I can’t imagine women do this? Most of us have some sort of make-up on. I wonder if anyone really does it?

So, I am curious what gender you are and whether you do it, and if you do do it, what do you get out of it? Were you taught it by a parent? Saw it on TV? Read it in a book? Or, just felt compelled to do it.
