You Should Expel This Skin-Care Step When You Turn 35 According To A Facialist

By the time you hit 35, there’s an entire checklist of ingredients that dermatologists say are non-negotiables in your skin-care lineup. SPF in the morning for sun protection (duh), a retinol at night to fend off fine lines and wrinkles, and peptides to stimulate collagen production, to name a few. But as you’re adding these products into your routine to prep for your 35th birthday, there’s one practice that celebrity facialist and master esthetician Angela Caglia wants you to remove from your regimen altogether: Washing your face in the morning.

She says this is because “It strips the skin of its natural oils, which we need to look younger and have healthier skin,” This view seems correct for all ages. Various dermatologists suggest skipping the a.m face wash, doesn’t matter what your age is but it’s slightly important when you turn 35.

“When your skin ages, the outer layer becomes a little bit thinner and that’s why it becomes more fragile,” Diane Berson, MD, FAAD, a dermatologist in New York City previously told Well+Good. “It’s less likely to retain moisture, which is why it becomes dry and flaky and itchy. And there’s been damage to the collagen and elastin in the dermis which makes it wrinkle.” Because of this, you’ll want to do whatever you can to help your skin maintain hydration, which means cutting that oil-stripping morning face wash from your routine.

If you absolutely must give your skin a once-over in the morning, swap your usual cleanser for micellar water, a gentle alternative that will help get rid of any dirt and debris without drying out your complexion. Better yet, just give your skin a splash with some good, old-fashioned tap water. And of course, you’ll still want to take the time at night to give your skin a thorough lather and rinse with a cleanser. “That’s the most important time to remove all of the dirt, pollution, makeup, and apply skincare to regenerate your skin while sleeping,” says Caglia.

If you want to make your skin further hydrated, then make sure to cleanse your skin with cleansers rich in ceramides and glycerin. It helps to stimulate the skin surface which maintains the moisturization in the skin and prevents it from drying out.
