Cleansing Do’s & Don’ts: how to really cleanse your skin
Cleansing is the first step of any good skincare routine. But how you cleanse often makes a bigger difference than people think. The right cleansing routine not only helps to remove makeup, dirt, and excess sebum, but also supports a healthy skin barrier and ensures that your skincare works better.
Whether you are just starting with skincare or have had a routine for years: these do’s & don’ts will help keep your skin clear, fresh, and healthy.
DO: cleanse your skin every morning
Even if you cleansed your skin the night before, a morning cleanse is important.
During the night, your skin produces sebum and releases waste products while the skin repairs itself. You also want to remove residues of night products such as retinol or active ingredients in the morning before you start your day routine.
A fresh, clean skin ensures that your day cream is absorbed better and feels nicer on the skin.
DON’T: go to sleep without cleansing your skin
We get it - after a long day, it’s tempting to just crawl into bed. But sleeping with makeup, SPF, pollution, and excess sebum on your skin is one of the worst habits for your skin barrier.
By not properly cleansing your skin, you increase the chance of clogged pores, impurities, and small hard bumps under the skin, such as milia.
A clean skin also helps your night care to be absorbed better while your skin repairs itself at night.
So don’t see cleansing as an “extra step”, but as the foundation of healthy skin.
DON’T: use cleansing wipes as a primary cleanser
Cleansing wipes are handy on the go or in emergencies, but they do not replace proper cleansing.
Instead of completely removing dirt, makeup, and sebum, wipes often just spread it over the skin. Compare it to wiping a dirty table with a cloth without water: you move the dirt more than you actually remove it.
For effective cleansing, you need both:
a good cleanser and water to rinse everything away.
This way, your skin not only feels cleaner, but you also prevent residues from remaining on the skin.
DON’T: use aggressive foaming soaps on your face
Classic hard soaps or strongly foaming cleansers can dry out the skin and disrupt the skin barrier.
Especially traditional soap bars often remove too many natural oils from the skin, making it feel tight, sensitive, or unbalanced.
Preferably choose a gentle cleanser that respects the skin and does not “strip” it.
Do you like using a cleansing bar? Then opt for a glycerine-based formula. Glycerine helps attract moisture and supports a soft, comfortable skin without a drying effect.
A healthy skin starts with proper cleansing
Properly cleansing your skin is not about cleansing as “hard as possible”, but about supporting a healthy skin balance.
