Dermal Preparations Matters
Prepare your skin! Morning and Evening:
Why Cleansing Your Skin Morning and Night Matters.
Your skin works around the clock to protect you from the environment and is know as your fist line of Defence! One of the most fundamental skincare practices is cleansing both in the morning and night—a non-negotiable action that goes far beyond simply washing your face.
At Franck Global, we offer you the choice of two different skincare brands and each brand have their own specialised facial cleansers, exfoliators and skin toners to choose from.
Morning Cleansing: Starting Fresh
While you sleep, your skin is busy regenerating. It produces oils, sheds dead skin cells, and pushes out toxins through sweat. By morning, your pillow has collected dead skin cells, and your face has accumulated natural oils and residue from your nighttime products.
In the evening, your skin enters a “restore and recover” mode:
Below I have made you a quick summery of the important actions that your skin goes through when you are asleep.
Skin Cell Regeneration: Skin cells regenerate faster during the night than during the day, with peak renewal and repair occurring between 10 PM and 6 AM.
Increased Blood Flow: Blood vessels dilate, allowing blood to flow freely to skin layers, delivering nutrients and oxygen.
Enhanced Product Penetration: Your skin becomes more permeable, making it a better time to apply skincare products as they are more readily penetrate. (And that is why evening and day products are different)
Repair and Rejuvenation: Your skin works to reverse any damage suffered during the day from UV exposure, pollution, and other factors.
Collagen Production: The skin’s repair system boosts collagen production during nighttime, which helps enhance skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles.
Circadian Rhythms: Your body’s natural 24-hour cycle (circadian rhythm) influences skin functions, with body temperature and blood flow increasing in the evening.
Hormonal Changes: Certain hormones, like melatonin, increase in the evening, affecting skin functions like hair growth, UV damage repair, and wound healing.
Water Loss: Your skin naturally loses moisture at night, so it’s important to hydrate your skin with skincare products.
Itchy Skin: In some cases, a lack of outside distractions or changes in body temperature and hormone levels can cause or worsen nighttime itching.
Do you now understand how important it is to cleanse your skin in the morning?
Morning cleansing removes:
- Excess sebum (oil) produced overnight
- Dead skin cells that have risen to the surface
- Sweat that accumulated during sleep
- Residue from nighttime skincare products
This fresh start allows your daytime products like serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen to penetrate properly and work effectively.
Evening Cleansing: The Day’s Defenders
Throughout your day, your skin faces an onslaught of environmental aggressors. Pollution particles, dirt, bacteria, and oils accumulate on your skin’s surface. If you wear makeup or sunscreen (which you should!), these products also need to be thoroughly removed.
The bacterial aspect is particularly important. Your skin naturally hosts various microorganisms, but throughout the day, you’re exposed to countless external bacteria from:
- Touching your face with your hands
- Contact with phones, keyboards, and other surfaces
- Airborne bacteria in public spaces
- Pollution particles that can carry microbes
This microbial build-up, combined with your skin’s natural oils and environmental debris, creates the perfect environment for bacteria to multiply. When left overnight, this can lead to clogged pores, breakouts, inflammation, and accelerated aging.
The Consequences of Skipping Your Cleanse
When you skip cleansing, especially at night, you’re essentially inviting problems:
- Bacterial overgrowth can lead to acne and infections
- Environmental pollutants can cause oxidative stress and premature aging
- Makeup and sunscreen can clog pores, leading to blackheads and breakouts
- Dead skin cells can accumulate, resulting in dull, rough-textured skin
Finding Your perfect cleanser.
The key is finding a cleanser appropriate for your skin condition. Too harsh, and you’ll strip your skin of essential oils; too gentle, and you may not remove all impurities. An important factor to also keep in mind is seasonal change. During the cold winter months, hour skin might need a richer cleanser such as the Gentle Cleaning Milk in the K Phyto-Ceutical range.
Whether you prefer a gel, foam, cream or micellar water, the important thing is consistency. Make cleansing non-negotiable, both morning and night, to provide your skin with the clean foundation it needs to thrive.
