Why Washing Your Face is Important

How often do you wash your face? Twice a day, once a day, or rarely? When you talk to estheticians, they often stress how important it is to wash and cleanse your face daily. Regular skin cleansing is critical to maintaining healthy skin. If you want radiant and vibrant skin, cleansing your face in the morning and evening - regardless of how tired you are - is a must.

 

Remove Buildup

Washing your face removes dirt, oil, and other unwanted debris. During the day, your skin builds up bacteria, pollutants, viruses, dirt, and dead skin. If you go without washing your face, your skin will continually be covered with dirt and grime, which can lead to blocked pores and blemishes. Washing your face removes these impurities and leaves your skin looking and feeling fresh and clean.

Proper Skin Hydration

Facial cleansing is an important factor in maintaining the proper level of hydration in your skin. When your skin is dehydrated, it looks and feels rough, dry, wrinkled, and aged. Daily facial cleansing (along with a good moisturizer) will help manage the PH levels of your skin, enabling proper water retention.

Maintain Clear Skin

Under the skin are tiny glands that produce oil. This oil protects the skin from the dangers of the environment. The tiny hair follicles within the skin act as a pathway to allow the oil to reach the skin’s surface. The oil then forms a protective barrier that helps prevent the penetration of bacteria and other harmful agents from entering the skin's surface. An excessive buildup of dirt and grime can cause the follicles to become blocked, trapping oil, sweat, and dead skin cells. The lack of oil on the skin’s surface can also allow bacteria to penetrate the follicle, causing inflammation. The result: acne.

Other Benefits of Cleansing

  • Regular cleansing keeps your skin looking radiant and healthy
  • Allows your other skin care products to work more effectively
  • Helps maintain proper pore size
  • Supports proper skin hydration and prevents the production of excess oil
