Beyond feeling refreshing, washing your face well is essential to a good complexion, because it removes the dirt, makeup, and pollutants that can lead to irritation, clogged pores, and breakouts. However, overdoing the task can strip skin of its protective natural oils, which may lead to a dry, sapped-out texture and even eczema, says New York City dermatologist Sapna Palep. The key is to do the job thoroughly, but not aggressively.
Start by timing it right. Cleanse twice daily: in the morning to remove excess oil, and at night to clear away grime and makeup, says Chicago dermatologist Carolyn Jacob. One caveat: If your face feels parched (low humidity at this time of year can exacerbate dryness), swap your morning wash for just a splash of water. To slough off dry spots and help smooth your skin, work a mild exfoliating cleanser into your routine a few times a week.
