Should You Cleanse Your Face Every Morning? ... The Answer Might Surprise You

You wake up, still sleepy, and your first instinct is to head to the bathroom to wash your face. A daily routine, almost automatic for many of us. But is it really necessary? At Comblée, we like to question habits and offer you beauty routines that truly respect your skin and the environment.

Daily cleaning: why is it important?

Our skin is our first barrier of protection against external aggressions. Throughout the day, it is exposed to pollution, bacteria, dust, not to mention makeup for some of us. These impurities, combined with the sebum naturally produced by our skin, can clog pores and cause various skin problems: blackheads, acne, dull complexion... Regular cleansing helps eliminate these impurities and maintain healthy and radiant skin. But be careful: over-cleansing can be as harmful as under-cleansing.

The importance of a gentle and suitable cleanser

Not all cleansers are created equal. Some are too harsh and can disrupt your skin's hydrolipidic film, the thin layer that naturally protects it.

An ideal cleanser is:

✓ Gentle and respectful of the skin's pH.

✓ Suitable for your skin type (dry, oily, combination, sensitive).

✓ Formulated without controversial ingredients (aggressive sulfates, synthetic fragrances, etc.).

Natural cleansers, like those we favor at Comblée, effectively remove impurities while preserving your skin's natural balance.

The perfect time to clean your face

Now here is the answer to our initial question:

When should you really cleanse your face?

Evening is the crucial time for deep cleansing. This is when your skin has accumulated the most impurities: pollution, makeup, sebum... Cleansing it eliminates all these substances and prepares your skin for its nighttime regeneration phase . During sleep, your skin is actively working to repair and renew itself. Providing it with a clean base is therefore essential.

In the morning, the situation is different . Contrary to popular belief, it's generally not necessary to do a complete cleansing. Why? Your skin hasn't been exposed to external aggressors during the night. Furthermore, cleansing too frequently can remove your skin's natural protective sebum, leading to dryness and irritation.

For most skin types, a simple rinse with warm water in the morning is sufficient. This gentle method helps remove excess sebum produced overnight, while preserving the protective hydrolipidic film.

Conclusion: Adapt your routine to your skin

As with many aspects of skin care, there is no one-size-fits-all rule . The important thing is to listen to your skin and tailor your routine to its specific needs.

If you have very oily skin, a gentle cleanser can be beneficial even in the morning. Conversely, if your skin is dry or sensitive, limit yourself to rinsing with lukewarm water to maintain its balance.

At Comblée, we believe in conscious and personalized beauty routines that respect both your skin and the planet. After all, self-care should never come at the expense of our environment.
