Why You Probably Don’t Need To Wash Your Face (And What To Do Instead) | REALfarmacy.com | Healthy News and Information
A few alternatives:
1. Cleanse with oil.
It might sound odd, but natural oils will remove dirt and makeup (even waterproof mascara) as effectively as any face wash. They also don’t strip your skin and help that natural barrier function we were just talking about. Argan, coconut, jojoba, shea—see which one smells and feels the best to you, then don’t look back.
2. If you must, only wash your face at night.
Did you sleep in a pile of dirt? Did you wake up sweating? Fine, then wash your face in the morning. Otherwise, I see no real reason to lather upon waking.
3. Avoid bad sulfates like the plague. If it foams, it’s not doing you any favors.
Look for natural cleansers that don’t contain sodium lauryl sulfate and its unfriendly sulfate cousins. Go for cleansers that feel a little creamier—you might feel not-squeaky-clean at first, but your skin will adjust to the less harsh regimen and it will reward you for the switch.
