Read pretty much any interview with any model or celebrity ever and second only to ‘drink lots of water,’ the most common beauty tip has to be ‘always wash you face at night.’ If the people paid to be pretty don’t convince you, than trust the experts. “One of the biggest mistakes I see people make is not having a proper cleaning routine,” says Emma Hobson, from the Dermal Skn Insttitute. “People don’t take time finding the right cleansing products, or don’t cleanse often enough, resulting in dehydration, dull skin, uneven texture and increased skin congestion.” In the thick of party season the temptation is to skip the suds and head straight for the sheets after a night out, but we beg of you, please don’t. If it’s not the make-up that might break your out, it’ll be the daily grime, pollution, sweat, oil and dead skin cells. Take the time to cleanse your face before heading to bed and we promise by January your skin will thank you for it. Find your cleansing solution below.
