Skin Cleansing Habits You Should Get into Before the New Year

Having the right skin cleansing habits can make or break your skin, literally. Incorporating organic skincare into your routine with the right practices can help you achieve radiant, glowing skin. It’s never too late to establish healthy skincare habits, so follow our top 3 tips for luminous skin. 

Remove Your Makeup  

Although you may think washing your face with just water to remove your makeup is sufficient, you should have a dedicated product in your routine that is specifically formulated to break down and remove makeup ingredients. Something gentle like micellar water will do the trick; just make sure you are not harshly scrubbing your face, especially around the eyes. Washing your face alone is not enough to remove makeup, dirt, and debris from your skin, so you must remove as many layers as possible before cleansing. 

Practice Gentle Cleansing 

Your instinct may be to scrub your skin as hard as you can to remove impurities and be “squeaky clean,” but that could be doing far more harm than good. Gentle skin cleansing is key to healthy skin, and we recommend using a gentle, organic skin cleanser that does not contain parabens, sulfates, silicones, or other harmful ingredients. With your gentle cleanser, use delicate, thoughtful motions and avoid harsh scrubbing and damaging cleansers, as these can strip your skin of its natural barriers and oils that protect it. 

Moisturize After Cleansing 

Your after-skin cleansing routine is just as important as the act of cleansing itself. The American Academy of Dermatology Association recommends applying moisturizer every time you wash your face, being careful to be gentle around your eyes so as not to pull on the skin. The type of moisturizer you use after skin cleansing will ultimately depend on your skin type, but we recommend opting for an organic, botanical option.. 

Cleanse Your Face at the Right Time 

Believe it or not, it is possible to over wash your face. Like too-harsh skin cleansing, washing too frequently can strip your skin of its natural oils and barriers. The best practices are to wash your face in the morning and at night, as well as after excessive sweating, such as from a workout or traveling. You should be cleansing your skin after other activities too, such as ones that require a helmet or hat. 

Consult a Professional 

If you have particularly troublesome skin, it may be wise to consult a professional, licensed dermatologist who can help you better understand your skin. Together, you can come up with a skincare routine that addresses your pain points without doing unintentional damage to your skin.
