Experts point out pre-bedtime habits that help keep skin bright and healthy

Even if you’re indoors all day and don’t wear makeup, your skin still produces sebum and needs to be restored at night. “You may not see it, but oil, pollution, topical creams, sunscreen and anything else your skin has been exposed to throughout the day needs to be removed,” Niamh Ryan, a skin therapist in Ireland, explained to The Independent .

Why do we need to take care of our skin at night?

According to experts, dirt and grime from the day can clog pores, disrupting the skin's natural repair process, leading to dullness, congestion and breakouts. When you skip cleansing your skin at night, your skin can't repair itself because the dirt particles stay on the surface.

“Sunscreen, makeup and pollution residue that isn’t washed off can disrupt the skin’s microbiome and acid mantle,” Elizabeth King, a holistic facialist and skin therapist, told The Independent . “This leads to increased inflammation, redness and sensitivity, making the skin more reactive over time.”

Plus, not taking care of your skin before bed can also accelerate the signs of aging. “When makeup particles, sunscreen, and pollution are left on the skin overnight, they cause oxidative stress, which damages the skin’s natural collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, crow’s feet, and sagging over time,” explains Karen MacDonald, a facialist in the UK.

In addition to the advice to maintain a regular skin cleansing habit at night, Experts also recommend not cleansing your skin in the morning if you don't want to strip away your skin's natural oils and damage its protective barrier, according to The Independent.
