You’ve undoubtedly had your share of long nights at the end of which all you can think about is your head hitting the pillow. Simply mustering the energy to brush your teeth is difficult enough, let alone making the effort to remove your makeup and wash your face. But what happens if you don’t wash your face before bed? Is it really a big deal?
In this article, we’ll talk about the importance of washing your face every day, including what happens to your skin when you don’t wash your face. You’ll also receive some simple tips for washing your face properly as well as some recommendations for the best cleansers from Yon-Ka Paris.
When you wake up in the morning to find your pillow covered in makeup, you may start to regret not washing your face before bed. Eventually, when you start to develop blemishes your regret will deepen, and you’ll find yourself reaching for your emergency spot treatment while wondering why your skin is suddenly in rebellion.
The truth is that not washing your face on a regular basis has a much bigger impact on your skin than you may realize. When you stop cleansing, you put yourself at risk for worsening the skincare concerns you already have and open yourself to the potential of developing new ones.
Here’s what might happen if you start skipping your cleansing routine:
Washing your face is about more than just removing makeup and the daily accumulation of impurities. It is an important step in maintaining proper hydration levels in your skin and it is essential for keeping your skin clean and clear. It also helps with exfoliation, preventing dead skin cells from accumulating on the surface of your skin, making it look dull and tired. Relatedly, proper cleansing fights aging. Along with the impurities you’re removing, you’re also removing free radicals from environmental exposure.
Cleansing your face is one of the most (if not THE most) important steps in a proper daily skincare routine. It should be done first thing in the morning and right before bed at night. When it comes to choosing a cleanser, pick one that is appropriate for your skin type. Choosing the wrong cleanser can be just as bad for your skin as not cleansing at all!
If you have dry skin, avoid a cleanser that is too aggressive or that contains drying ingredients like soap – choose something that won’t strip the skin.
For oily skin, avoid anything too heavy that will sit on your skin or too stripping. Either of these options can increase oil production.
For sensitive skin, choose a gentle formula made with natural ingredients like peppermint. Look for something creamy to soothe and not strip sensitive skin.
If you have normal skin, you have the benefit of being able to choose a cleanser designed for any specific skincare concerns you may have. Combination skin gives you a wider range of options as well, though you’ll do best with something that clears away oil and grime without stripping your skin’s natural moisture.
Once you’ve chosen your cleanser, the next step is learning how to use it properly. Here are some simple tips for washing your face properly:
Knowing how to properly wash your face is only part of the equation – you also need to choose the right cleanser. When shopping for any skincare product, it is important to know your skin type and to select a product formulated for that skin type, so you don’t make your skincare concerns worse.
