Washing your face should be in your daily routine. Dermatologists recommend washing your face every day, but have you ever wondered why? Here are a few reasons:
Bacteria
“Sometimes we intentionally touch our face making our face the dirtiest part of our body,” Celebrity esthetician Renee Rouleau said.
You are constantly touching doorknobs, cell phones and all other sorts of objects that are filled with bacteria. By cleaning your face every day, morning and night, you will avoid the spread of bacteria.
Acne
Everyone is prone to acne, whether you wear make up or not. However, if you do wear makeup, be mindful of all the harmful chemicals. Not only this, but forgetting to wash your face result in clogged pores which causes blemishes, zits and pimples.
Why wash in the morning?
You don’t necessarily need to use a cleanser to wash your face in the morning; all you need is a few splashes of water.
According to newbeauty.com, “At night our skin is in repair mode and it will secrete toxins and sebum.” Also, a quick rinse of the face will make your daytime products easier to apply, not to mention it is also a great way to wake yourself up and feel fresh.
Why wash at night?
To prevent the spread of acne, you need to wash your face after constantly coming in contact with bacteria and dirt throughout the day. You need to allow your skin to breathe at night so it can repair. As you cleanse your face you are also hydrating your skin.
