While some prefer to finish before their morning commute, others prefer to finish before crawling under the covers for bed.
Is there a better choice between the two, or is it just a matter of preference? Experts say washing your face at night is better for your body.
What are the benefits of bathing at night?
Dermatologists say that taking a shower at night can help you sleep better, allowing you to fall asleep ten minutes earlier than usual.
Plus, using warm water has the added benefit of lowering your body temperature.
This tells your body to relax. If your muscles are sore after a busy day at work, the best way to relax is to take a warm bath.
Warm water reduces muscle tension and protects your legs.
But it’s not just your muscles that benefit from a sunset shower.
It’s also better for your skin and hair.
If you wash your hair at night, you’ll have more time for your hair to dry since you won’t have to rush to get to work during the day. When your hair dries naturally, it looks shinier and healthier thanks to the moisture being trapped in your hair, which helps it stay vibrant for longer.

As for your skin, it’s best to cleanse it at night, as this will remove all the bacteria and irritants that have accumulated on your skin throughout the day.
These can lead to problems like acne.
If you don’t shower before going to bed, you can transfer all that microscopic dirt to your pillow.
Also, since our skin renews itself while we sleep, cleansing it before going to bed will help keep our new skin healthy, not clogged. Even seasonal allergies can improve after a shower.
If you have hay fever, washing your face before going to bed will reduce the possibility of allergens transferring to your sheets.
If that’s not enough, what should we do to make it smell better?
Taking a cold shower at night can reduce body odor and night sweats, which can reduce the number of times we wake up with nausea.
So, should early risers go to bed at night and start showering?
