Choosing when to shower is a personal choice. Sometimes, it’s hygiene-related, sometimes it’s routine, and sometimes it’s a morning vs. evening thing. While all options have advantages, research suggests that a nighttime shower offers some distinct benefits, especially when it comes to promoting better sleep and enhancing overall skin health.

The easiest benefit to point out is simply washing off the dirt and grime you collected all day. Your body will inevitably pick up environmental pollutants, sweat, and bacteria, all affecting your skin. These things need to be washed off before tucking in for several hours and letting them fester on you – not to mention getting mixed up with your sheets ready for you for the next night too. A night shower helps remove these impurities, leaving you clean heading into bed. Dr. Alok Vij, a dermatologist, notes that not washing off these pollutants can cause skin irritation or exacerbate conditions like acne.
