It’s a wonder how many people don’t wash their faces before going to bed, but if you’re one of those who neglect this step, it is time for you to change your ways. This post will give you easy rules for how to wash your face properly.
1. Do not wash your face with just any soap!
Because it’s bad for your skin and because you’ll be left feeling quite uncomfortable without knowing why. Your average drugstore bar soaps are filled with artificial scents and colors, harsh chemicals, and other additives that can be very drying and strip the natural oils from your face.
2. Wash your face with a proper pH-balanced facial cleanser!
They may be pricier than drugstore bar soaps, but most facial cleansers are made with sensitive skin in mind. They’re designed to not strip away the natural oils of your face and protect it from damage. Just make sure to properly read the label before you buy one to get the best results.

3. Wash your face twice a day and at night!
Be sure that in the morning, you wash off all of the dirt/dust/grime that accumulated overnight while sleeping, and at night, it’s about making sure all of the makeup and sunscreen you applied in the morning has been removed. Use a refreshing facial wash.
4. Keep it clean but don’t strip off its natural oils!
It’s disgusting when your face feels tight and dry after you wash, isn’t it? That means your cleanser is either too harsh or not moisturizing enough.
And when you’re in a rush, you might tend to skip washing your face at night (because you’re tired and all…), but it’s really important to cleanse your skin before going to bed! Not only will it help prevent breakouts, but the natural oils on your skin will work overnight as a moisturizer while you sleep.
5. Properly remove makeup and sunscreen to keep the pores clean!
Another thing that most people don’t do but should is removing makeup before going to bed at night. It’s important because it will help prevent acne from clogging your pores, as well as allowing for a deeper cleaning routine in the morning.
Unprotected exposure to the sun will give you wrinkles, age spots, and peeling skin. It’s extremely important that every day, you wear sunscreen with at least SPF 15 to protect your face from harmful UVA/UVB rays.
The key to healthy skin is using the right products. Washing your face properly can help you get there, but it’s not always easy! Follow these steps mentioned above and achieve flawless skin in no time at all.
