Wash the Day Away

No matter how late it is, never go to bed without cleansing. Here’s why: Makeup and pollutants are lipophilic, meaning they bond to your skin’s natural oils to create a film that traps bacteria for hours. This can lead to clogged pores and blemished skin.

Your skin does its heaviest lifting while you sleep, but that layer of grime creates a barrier that prevents your skin from breathing and shedding the dead cells it needs to stay clear. Bottom line: wash the day away so your skin can do its best work!
