Cleansers 101: How Often Should You Wash Your Face?

Establishing an effective skincare routine starts with cleansing. But how often should you really be washing your face? Let's dive into the essentials of facial cleansing to keep your skin glowing, healthy, and balanced.

Why Cleansing Matters

Daily cleansing is essential to remove impurities like dirt, oil, and makeup, preventing breakouts and promoting clearer skin. However, cleansing too often or using the wrong products can strip away beneficial oils, leading to irritation or dryness.

How Often Should You Wash Your Face?

Morning Cleansing: Cleansing your face each morning refreshes your skin and removes any impurities that have built up overnight, such as sweat, oil, or leftover products. It's especially important if you have oily or acne-prone skin.

Try a gentle morning cleanser like Eminence Organic Stone Crop Gel Wash.

Evening Cleansing: Nighttime cleansing is crucial for removing makeup, SPF, and pollutants accumulated during the day. This helps prevent clogged pores, breakouts, and premature aging.

For evening cleansing, choose something calming yet thorough like Eminence Organic Coconut Milk Cleanser.

What About Double Cleansing?

Double cleansing involves first using an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and SPF, followed by a water-based cleanser to deep-clean the pores. It’s particularly beneficial if you wear heavy makeup or live in a polluted environment.

Start your double cleanse with Eminence Organic Stone Crop Cleansing Oil followed by your favourite gentle cleanser like the Stone Crop Gel Wash.

How Skin Type Influences Cleansing Frequency

• Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: Twice daily cleansing helps control oil and reduce acne-causing bacteria. A clarifying cleanser like Eminence Organic Clear Skin Probiotic Cleanser is perfect for managing oil without over-drying.

• Dry or Sensitive Skin: Once daily cleansing in the evening might suffice. Choose a moisturizing cleanser such as the Coconut Milk Cleanser to nourish while you cleanse.

• Normal or Combination Skin: Twice daily cleansing with a gentle product will keep your skin balanced. The Stone Crop Gel Wash offers effective yet mild cleansing suitable for daily use.

Listen to Your Skin

Remember, everyone’s skin is unique. Pay attention to how your skin responds to your cleansing routine and adjust accordingly. The right frequency and products will ensure your skin stays clear, hydrated, and vibrant every day.
