I always wash my face twice a day. You make a great point, the only person that knows what’s better for your skin is YOU!

I just love the act of washing my face! It’s so relaxing to me- morning and night. 🧘‍♀️💕

I agree.. it all depends on your skin
When my skin was super dehydrated and dry I washed with water and a washcloth in the morning and it did really help get my skin into shape. Looking back I probably could have used something super gentle though. Now that my skin has normalized and I’m not so extremely dry/dehydrated I need the light gentle cleanse in the morning & couldn’t imagine going without it.

I really liked the idea of not cleaning my face in AM and did it for a long while, but it didn't improve my acne much. Recently, I started to use a gentle cleanser in morning to wash off layer of oil and it has finally improved! I agree with your logic.

This is so helpful. When I take a shower in the evening I wash and cleanse my face. Before I use micellair water. Even when I don't wear make-up. Afterwards I don't use any products. In the morning I wash my face. I'd cleanse it too but it doesn't really make a difference. I use a satin pillow case. Because of what you said at the end of the video I'm only going to cleanse my face in the evening. I'm only going to wash it with water in the morning. You made total sense for me. Thank you 😊.

I personally do. I loveeee a cream cleanser in the AM! I’ve been using glymed’s peptide cleanser!

I wash my face in the morning with cleanser, depending on the morning air environment, if I sweat at night, or put on a layer of moisturizer with my prescription tretinoin, because I can feel the skin feeling heavier, so there must be some leftover dirt or extra moisture that my skin doesn’t need. Sometimes it depends on the season that contribute to having more dirt collected at night. If I only have tretinoin on at night, I rinse with water.

I've been incorporating BioJuve for the last five weeks or so and just use their conditioning cleanse now in the morning, with a double cleanse at night (actually triple I suppose, as I follow the two steps with the BioJuve conditioning product as well)... I'm really enjoying this lighter cleanse in the morning. It sorta feels like a half step between no wash and wash.

Well….i don’t wash my face in the morning. I use SkinBetter products morning and night. I tend to be dry as I’m older than most. I never thought I’d need to wash off the ‘leftovers’ from my night time skin care! Every morning I just add on more skincare! I’ll take this advice and try washing up in the morning. Great video. Happy holidays to all! ❤

I tried both and as a former esthetician with dry skin I still prefer to wash my face in the morning. I just get better results that way.

[kathyharvey]

I do wash my face in the morning. Also I used to use a cleansing balm to take my makeup off at night. But after watching some of ur videos I have stopped doing this and started using Skin Better cleansing gel as my first and second cleanse. I can tell that it is making a difference because my skin looks smoother.

[claudiaglows]

Great video, as always
I do wash my face in the morning, since I workout and get sweaty

I have heard this statement too even Selma Hayek talks about how her mother taught her not to wash her face in the morning. I think it depends on many factors many of which you pointed out. Personally I love washing my face, especially after doing a zinc mask. I feel like my actives absorb better after a good wash.

“Thanks for your video on this topic. Your explanation makes sense, and since my skin is oily, I must wash it twice a day. It is a very unpleasant sensation not to wash my face in the morning. I always do, and now I know that it’s okay. Thanks.”

[rehabsee]

I wash my face every morning for a couple of reasons. One, I use a petroleum based moisturizer. Two, it softens my beard for shaving. Three, it feels good and helps me wake up. 😊

[natashachansa]

I have oily, acne prone skin. Currently taking Isotret ehich makes my skin flake, pimples oozing etc so i definitely have to wash atleast twice a day so i didn't think the reel i watched was a good advice for all

[thisis.michelletorres]

I work at home a lot and if I'm not going out, I often just splash my face with warm water, gently massaging the eye area to remove anything on the lashes then I'll pat on a natural toner and light moisture and go about my day. Neither I nor my bed are dirty, and I don't have acne. I believe sometimes the skin needs a break.

[ericavigil]

The video made sense. I just don’t know what’s best for MY skin type. I’m dry -dehydrated. I alternate zo skin hydrating cleanser and eminence stone crop gel cleanser .. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤔

[CherylE]

I know I've heard too you don't need to wash your face but the reasons you explained I just have to and then use my LED mask.

[diamondi]

Is it OK to use cerave hydrating toner instead of water in the morning?
