Should you use Cetaphil morning and night?

6 STEPS FOR A BETTER SKIN ROUTINE

Everyday soaps can be harsh and irritating, so choose agentle cleanser that suits your skin type. Look for one that maintains your skin’s normal pH balance and doesn’t damage its natural protective barrier. All Cetaphil cleansers are clinically shown to maintain your skin’s pH and natural moisture, making them ideal for sensitive skin. Ifyou have oily skin, look for a cleanser specially designed not to clog pores (non-comedogenic) and that regulates sebum/oil, like Cetaphil DermaControl Oil Removing Foam Wash.

Limit cleansing your face to twice a day (in the mornings and evenings) and, after cleansing, be sure to pat theskin dry. Avoid rubbing your face with your towel to ensure you don’t cause irritation.

If you have dry skin, apply moisturiser while your skin is still damp. This helps to trap moisture and keep your skin soft and smooth. You might think that oily skin doesn’t need a moisturiser, but even if you notice that you have excess oil, you still need to moisturise – even visibly oily skin can still lack moisture. Just be sure to use a non-comedogenic, oil-free moisturiser, as this means it won't clog pores.

Using a daily moisturiser with SPF is a great way to make sure you don’t skip sun protection. SPF 15 is the minimum value for adequate daily protection(1).  

Sunscreen isn’t just for hot days. Using sunscreen regularly can help guard against free radicals induced by UV radiation, which can cause skin damage and aging. While SPF 15 is the minimum value you need for daily protection, sunscreens that carry an SPF of 30 (or higher) offer even better protection.

Be sure to choose a product with broad spectrum UV protection to protect you from both UVA rays (that cause aging) and UVB rays (that cause sunburn)(2). And remember, while water resistance helps ensure that your sunscreen doesn’t wash (or sweat) off, extended exposure to the sun requires a second helping of sunscreen.

Using a moisturiser before going to bed helps to keep your skin hydrated through the night and will leave your skin feeling balanced and smoothed when you wake up to face the world. Using a night moisturiser  helps you take advantage of your body getting much-needed sleep. A nourishing night cream like Cetaphil Rich Hydrating Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid  protects skin from dryness throughout the night.

Don’t forget to treat your eye area in your skincare routine. The skin around the eyes is delicate and thinner than the rest of your skin, and using an eye gel or cream before going to bed at night helps to hydrate, brighten and smooth the eye area.

Follow these 5 STEPS FOR A BETTER SKIN ROUTINE

The ideal kind of facial cleanser is one that maintains your skin’s natural moisture, doing its job to remove dirt, makeup and excess oil, while not drying out the skin. Look for a soap-free, fragrance-free, gentle cleanser like Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser or Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser. And be sure not to over-wash, as this can lead to dryness and irritation. Cleansing your face once in the morning and once in the evening should be enough.

Sensiti ve skin, by definition, is the negative reaction of skin to certain triggers. Sometimes the best way to cope with this is to avoid these triggers altogether. Pay attention to what might be causing your sensitive skin to flare up: is it that new perfume, certain fabrics that you wear, or too much time in the sun? Other causes might be makeup, air-conditioning or central heating. Understanding what causes your specific sensitive skin flare-ups can help you manage or prevent them more easily.

Regularly wearing facial sunscreen has been shown to actively help sensitive skin. Choose a daily moisturiser with SPF to reduce the likelihood of acute UV exposure, which could affect your skin’s overall health (even when you’re indoors). When you’re out in the sun, it’s a good idea to use a specific sunscreen (and not just a moisturiser with SPF), and be sure to wear a hat and sunglasses.

Regular exfoliation helps to deep clean skin, removing irritants, impurities and pollutants, so it’s good practice. Plus, exfoliation has the added benefit of removing dead skin cells and promoting skin renewal, giving you healthier-looking skin. But not all facial scrubs are the same. When looking for an exfoliating product, be sure to use one that’s specifically designed for sensitive skin, like Cetaphil Extra Gentle Daily Scrub.

Whatever products you use, it’s important to carve out a regular skin care routine that works for you, your lifestyle and your sensitive skin.

Should I use Cetaphil twice a day?

Limit cleansing your face to twice a day (in the mornings and evenings) and, after cleansing, be sure to pat the skin dry. Avoid rubbing your face with your towel to ensure you don't cause irritation.

Is Cetaphil good to use at night?

Using a night moisturiser helps you take advantage of your body getting much-needed sleep. A nourishing night cream like Cetaphil Rich Hydrating Night Cream with Hyaluronic Acid protects skin from dryness throughout the night.

Can you overuse Cetaphil?

If your skin appears white or gray and feels soggy, you may be applying too much topical emollient or using it too often. Some forms of topical emollient may be flammable and should not be used near high heat or open flame, or applied while you are smoking. Store as directed away from moisture, heat, and light.
