Why You Should Cleanse Your Face Every Night

Why You Should Cleanse Your Face Every Night

Cleansing your face every night is an essential step in maintaining healthy and glowing skin. Throughout the day, your skin is exposed to environmental pollutants, dirt, oil, and makeup that accumulate on its surface. If not removed, these impurities can clog pores, leading to breakouts, blackheads, and irritation.

Nightly cleansing is also crucial for preventing premature ageing. Pollutants and makeup residue can contribute to oxidative stress, which breaks down collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for keeping skin firm and youthful. By cleansing, you allow your skin to repair itself overnight, maximising the benefits of your evening skincare products.

Using a gentle, effective cleanser suited to your skin type is key. For those with dry skin, opt for a hydrating cleanser that won’t strip your skin’s natural oils. For oily or acne-prone skin, a foaming cleanser with salicylic acid can help control excess oil production. Follow up with a toner, serum, and moisturiser to lock in hydration and further enhance your skin’s natural glow.

Remember, consistency is the foundation of good skincare. Making cleansing a non-negotiable part of your nightly routine ensures your skin remains clear, balanced, and radiant.

Beyond skin, into wellbeing
