Skipping your morning wash can actually help your skin in winter, especially if you’re struggling with dryness or a compromised barrier. Here’s why:
1. Preserves natural oils ,Overnight, your skin produces oils that help protect and moisturize. Washing in the morning can strip these away, leaving skin drier.
2. Reduces irritation ,If you’re using active ingredients at night (retinol, acids, strong serums), morning washing can add unnecessary stress to your barrier.
3. Less water + cleanser = less dryness – Cold, dry air plus cleansing can worsen tightness and flakiness.
For many people with sensitive or winter-dry skin, washing only at night and just rinsing in the morning improves hydration, reduces redness, and strengthens the skin barrier.
