Why Less Cleansing Can Improve Your Skin: Can Over-Cleansing Damage Skin? | Noktéra

Your Cleanser Might Be Doing Too Much.

Not every face needs to be scrubbed into submission twice a day.

Over-cleansing strips away the very oils that protect skin from dehydration and irritation.

Signs you may be cleansing too aggressively:

• Tightness after washing
• Sudden sensitivity
• Increased oil production
• Flaking or redness

Clean skin should feel comfortable. Not squeaky.

Sometimes skin improves dramatically when you stop over-managing it.
