I am a 28-year old girl. I follow a proper cleansing routine at night but sometimes tend to skip it in the morning. Is it necessary to use a face wash in the morning even if I have applied cleanser the night before?
Cosmetologist Nandita Das says, However lazy you feel or, however, time-consuming it may be, you must devote some time to cleaning your face in the morning. Your skin tends to accumulate a lot of oils and the residue of the cream you have applied overnight. The circulated air from your air-conditioner may also make the dust and other environmental irritants collect on your face overnight. So a day-time cleansing is just as important as the night time cleansing ritual. Cleansing the face in the morning will also help remove traces of make-up that were not very effectively removed the night before.
Washing your face in the morning hydrates the skin. Following the cleansing with moisturising seals in the water and makes the skin appear radiant. It might sound odd, but alternatively you can also use natural oils like olive oil to remove the dirt as efficiently as a face wash. Doing this will not strip your skin of natural oils and also hydrate and rejuvenate your skin.
