If you can heat the water and bathe with it without harm, then you must do so. If you cannot, then you may perform . The description of tayammum is: you make the intention and say Bismillah, then you strike your hands on the dust and wipe your face and your palms up to the wrists with them. If you strike twice, once for the face and once for the hands, it is more cautious.
