The key to great and healthy skin is regularly cleansing. That means choosing the right facial cleanser for your skin type and using it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the night, at least. Regular cleansing prevents breakouts, skin dullness and dryness and helps keep your skin in tip top condition!
Here are 3 reasons why it is so important to clean your face regularly and frequently (at least twice a day):
1. Clogging of Pores
In this day and age where a multitude of skincare products are available, it is not uncommon for most of us to apply some kind of cream on our faces every day, such as sunblock or moisturizer. The residue from these products can accumulate on the surface of your skin and in your pores if you do not clean your face properly. It can possibly end up clogging your pores, which can lead to skin conditions such as blackheads, whiteheads and even acne.
On top of that, your skin naturally and regularly produces sebum which can further accumulate in your pores and cause oily skin. Regularly cleansing will help prevent or reduce the oiliness.
2. External Environment Factors and Pollution
In addition to natural oil that the skin produces and product residue, pollution and micro dirt particles in the air can easily clog your pores as well. For the active ones, constant sweat, heat and humidity from the environment often has a huge impact on skin. Even indoors, harsh chemicals found in detergents, spray cleaners, and air fresheners can affect your skin tremendously.
3. Skin Restoration Usually Happens at Night
While you sleep at night, your skin naturally works to repair, regenerate, and renew itself. This process naturally releases toxins, which can settle on your skin and on your pillowcases.
Washing your face as soon as you wake up is not only a hygienic way to go and will get rid of all these impurities and create a clean base for the rest of your skincare products to be better absorbed.
