How to Wash Your Face in the Morning and at Night

Why skin tightens after washing

If your skin feels tight after washing, the cause is almost never the water itself. The cause is a cleanser that removes too much: aggressive sulfates wash away dirt, but with it the natural protective layer of the skin. The result is the familiar feeling of tightness, sometimes redness. A good facial cleanser cleans without this effect: the skin remains clean, but soft and calm.

How many times a day to wash your face

Twice a day is a rule that applies to almost every skin: morning and night. Morning washing removes sweat and sebum that accumulate overnight and prepares the skin for serum and cream. Evening washing removes the day's dirt, SPF and make-up before going to bed, so that the skin does not regenerate under the layer of impurities. Washing more than twice a day usually does more harm than good because it puts unnecessary strain on the skin.

Morning washing routine

• Luke water, never hot. Hot water further dries the skin.
• Apply the cleanser to a wet face and massage gently for 20 to 30 seconds, without rubbing.
• Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a towel, not rubbing.
• Continue with the serum and cream while the skin is still slightly damp.

Evening washing routine

In the evening, the principle is the same, with one difference: at the end of the day, the skin wears a layer of SPF, makeup and city dust, so washing has more work to do. Same lukewarm water, same gentle motion, but give the cleanser a little more time to reach the skin before rinsing.

The most common mistakes that cause tightening

• Too strong cleaner. Sulfates clean aggressively and remove too much from the skin, that's why tightening occurs immediately after washing.
• Hot water. Additionally dries the skin and increases the feeling of tightness.
• Rubbing too long or too hard. It irritates the skin instead of cleaning it.
• Washing too many times a day. Two times is enough for most people.
• Toweling too dry. Rubbing instead of tapping further irritates the skin.

What a Skin-Friendly Cleanser pH Means

The skin has a naturally acidic environment that is part of its defense. A cleanser that respects this balance does not disturb this defense, so the skin after washing remains calm instead of tight. That's the difference between a face-only cleanser and a cleanser made for everyday use.
