Remember your mother telling you to never go to bed without washing your face? Well she knew what she was talking about. One of the most important part of a skincare routine is cleansing your face at the end of the day (optional to cleanse it in the the morning too if you had a lot of products on at night). To help the skin repair and ward-off daily external aggressors it needs a bit of help in the cleansing department, so it can do what it does best and restore itself back to life in your sleep.
Why you need to double cleanse:
In order to get rid of the day’s pollution, your makeup and sunscreen ( you are wearing SPF daily right?!), double cleansing is really must. Our preferred way is to start with an oil cleanser as a first step to get rid of all the products on your face and a gel or milk as a second step to remove any remaining residues.
Rather than a chore think of it as a little self care moment to yourself, not just removing the pollution off your face but also the day’s pressure before bedtime.
