Why You Should Wash Your Face Every Day

If you’re having a bad day or just feel too tired, it can be tempting to skip washing your face. Especially with these times of self-quarantining and social distancing, our skin hygiene routines may be suffering. But we’re here to remind you that you should keep up good habits for the sake of your skin.

Want to know why you should wash your face every day? Here are all the vital benefits of cleaning your skin daily!

Daily Brightens Skin

The most obvious reason to wash your face is to remove environmental dust, excess oils, and sweat which may build up on your face throughout the day and night. Letting the bacteria, dead skin cells, pollutants, and “dirt and grime” sit on your skin may reduce your natural glow.

Allows Other Products to Work

“Dirt and grime” on an unwashed face may also form a barrier against your other face products.  Applying anti-aging serums, antioxidants, or moisturizers will be useless if there is not a clean surface to absorb them.

Gives Your Skin Much-Needed Water

Your skin needs to be hydrated to help keep it feeling soft and looking young. The best way to provide your face the water it needs is to gently cleanse it and promptly moisturize it to “lock-in” the hydration.

Opens Your Pores

The skin on our face needs our help to protect itself. The glands and follicles on our skin produce oil that forms a protective barrier from harmful pollutants outside. Not washing your face allows those glands and follicles to become blocked, meaning that they can’t produce that necessary oil.

When that happens, a range of negative consequences occur.  Your complexion may be overly oily or dry and irritated.  It may be prone to wrinkles or acne breakouts.

Ultimately, washing your face every day is a refreshing and healthy habit with numerous benefits!
