The number 1 reason I hear that people go to bed without washing their face is 'I am just too tired'!I certainly understand the discipline and effort it requires to perform your night time skin care routine, especially when you are so tired. But, washing your face at night is one of the most important things you can do for your skin.
Five reasons why to wash your face before bed:
1. Touching your face all day long, without intentionally doing so, is making your face one of the dirtiest parts on your body. It is important to clean the skin to remove makeup, dirt, oil and bacteria from your skin that can clog your pores and trigger skin irritation and acne breakouts.
2. Cleansing your skin at night will reduce oil and the ability for acne-causing bacteria to thrive inside the pores. This means less break outs! For the best anti-aging results, you need a cleanser that is gentle and that removes all the dirt and oil from the environment. Think of the windshield on your car that has not been washed for weeks. Run your finger across the windshield and what is on your finger? Is there some dirt on your finger? This is similar to what is left on your skin if you do not wash your face before going to bed.
3. Your skin repairs itself at night, so removing makeup gives your skin a clean palette for applying your night time performance products for maximum absorption. Your night time moisturizer works as a corrector. It restores and replenishes all the moisture lost throughout the day. Think if it as an 'I'm sorry' to your skin. I would suggest a night time moisturizer that supports collagen.
4. While you sleep, your skin is at rest allowing regeneration to occur.
5. Moisturizers evaporate when on the skin all day, so washing your skin and applying moisturizer at night ensures it will stay moist and hydrated.
TIP: Try washing your face earlier in the night. Your skin will be healthy and refreshed! Now go wash your face!
