Last year I was invited to my next door neighbor’s slumber party. Some lady there was trying to sell make up and various facial crèmes. I remember being skeptical, at first, about her products. They seemed a little bit pricey and I didn’t think that they would make that big of a difference in my skin. But then the sales lady pulled out some pictures of herself before she started using the products she was selling.

There was definitely a difference between her beautiful, silky, wrinkle free skin then and the photos from before. After looking through those pictures I started to pay a little more attention to what she was saying about taking care of our skin and how we need to pamper it to make it look good and feel good. She talked about the importance of washing our faces at night, before bed, to wash off all the dirt our skin accumulates throughout the day and then she also told us how important it is to wash our faces well in the morning.

She told us that 75% of dirt is over the 24 hour period is on our faces in the morning because overnight while we sleep our skin pushes out all the processed dirt from to the top layer and it is critical for us to wash that dirt off when we wake up. Since then I always wash my face in the morning and I think my skin is doing a lot better.
