Facial cleansing is a daily ritual, but we often ask ourselves the question: do you really need to wash your face in the morning and evening?
Well, the answer is not so simple and depends on your skin type! You don't know your skin type? Don't panic! We offer you to make a quick and free diagnosis on our website.
Washing your face in the morning 🌞
At night, your skin regenerates and eliminates toxins. When you wake up, you will find a light film of sebum, which is protective, but can dull your complexion. No need for ultra-stripping cleansing!
- Normal to combination skin : A simple rinse with lukewarm water is enough to eliminate excess sebum and prepare the skin to receive its daily hydration.
- Oily skin : You can opt for a gentle, soap-free cleanser that is formulated to regulate sebum production. COSRX Gentle Cleanser with Salicylic Acid is a MUST-HAVE!
- Dry skin : Choose a product that gently cleanses without drying out the skin, such as PURITO Defence Barrier pH Cleanser .
We avoid at all costs abrasive cleansers and excessive rubbing that can weaken the skin. We go gently for a delicate awakening.
Washing your face in the evening 🌃
After a busy day, pollution, sweat and makeup (if you wear any) have left their mark. Evening cleansing is crucial to remove all impurities and allow the skin to breathe during the night.
- Makeup removal : This is the first non-negotiable step! Choose a makeup remover that is suited to your skin type and makeup (micellar water, makeup remover oil, makeup remover milk, etc.). Gently massage your face to remove pigments and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Cleaning : Once the face is perfectly cleansed, we proceed to the actual cleansing. We follow the same principle as in the morning, choosing a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type.
Beauty tip : Once or twice a week, you can complete your cleansing with a gentle scrub to eliminate dead cells and boost the complexion's radiance. Beauty of Joseon's Apricot Blossom Peeling Gel is a must-have!
FAQ: Should You Wash Your Face in the Morning and Evening? 💬
1. Can I skip morning cleansing if I have dry skin?
If your skin is sensitive and prone to dryness, a simple rinse with lukewarm water may be enough in the morning. However, if you feel a tight feeling, do not hesitate to use a very gentle cleanser to remove excess sebum without disturbing the protective hydrolipidic film.
2. I have oily skin, should I wash my face more often?
Even if you have oily skin , you should not wash it too often. This could stimulate sebum production and make the problem worse. Twice a day of cleansing is enough, using mattifying, non-stripping products.
