Washing Face in the Morning

Squirt60 — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 12:01:42 GMT

I always wash my face in the evening but is it necessary to also wash it in the morning?
I usually just splash warm water and Pat dry.

@Squirt60 Same here. My skincare from the night before has done its job and penetrated my face, so a quick splash of warm water is all I do.

I do both, using Purity. At night, I do a thorough clean to take off makeup and whatever has settled in during the day. Sometimes if we're having a really cold day or two, I'll just use water in the morning but it's when I do my masks so I'll usually do another thorough cleaning before that, just to take off the night lotion. I may do too much washing but I just don't feel right without some sort of soap/cleaning agent.

I am so oily I have to wash my face. I can’t imagine just starting the day splashing my face with water.

@manny2 Yes, oily skin may need a morning cleanse.

I have been using my Philosophy at night with the little vibrating cleaner machine and forget what it is called. Silicone one. In the morning I shower and wash my face and body with Beekman soap.

Use Dr. Denese products after and some makeup.

i ordered the Philosophy's special. Split it up and both my daughter and I are liking it. My grand daughter is getting the body wash for Xmas.

I cleanse at night with an added scrub, in the morning I cleanse with just a mild cleanser.

You'll get opinions on both sides. IMO, I think it's better to cleanse and start with a fresh canvas so all of my AM serums penetrate better. I like to exfoliate in the mornings too - sometimes with a mild scrub, sometimes with an acid pad, I personally don't think a splash of water is going to remove remnants of the moisturizer from the night before - hence it will be a barrier to the morning treatments.

I do a light wash in the mornings.

I never wash my face in the morning. I just rinse it and pat dry.

It depends on if I'm showering or not. If showering, I do use Aveeno and my Olay spin brush. If not showering, I just use hot water and a wash rag that i mostly just press onto my face. I'll also breathe in the warm moist air which my sinuses appreciate.

I wash my face in the morning. I have been up a while, taken the dog for a couple of walks, cooked breakfast and washed dishes before I apply makeup for the day. I don't think my face is still clean from the night before.

I kind of do the same thing.... I wash my face to take off my make up at night and put on moisturizer. In the morning I use a make up eraser cloth with water and then either a Nassif Detox or an Elemis exfoliating pad and a moisturizer. I try not to do too much to my skin at one time... too much stripping of the barrier cause over production of natural oils. IMO.

HOWEVER!! I think it depends on your skin. My facialist told me to wash my face in the morning because of the dirt from my pillow case. I like her and trust her opinion, but she also tells me how great my skin looks. So I must be doing ok.

I also read a book, "Clean" and it was all about the biome layer and how using too much anti-bacterial soap and being super duper clean is actually not that good for the skin.

@Squirt60 - As someone else said, you will get responses from both sides. I cleanse in the morning as I just feel better starting off the day with a clean face and don't feel I can accomplish that with just water. It's all a personal preference and what you feel is right for your skin.

I wash my face morning and night. I shower in the morning so I use an exfoliating cleanser. I double cleanse at night, using a balm to remove make-up then my regular creamy cleanser.

I use hypochlorous acid spray on my eyes to clean my eyelids or my eye glands keep getting clogged. I spray it on my eyes/face & use a muslin cloth to wash my face in the morning. It gets rid of the bacteria. No residue left on my face. It doesn't dry out my face.

Hypochlorous acid is the same active ingredient in OcuSoft lid scrub.

I don't wear makeup unless I go some place. I hate it. When I wear it I cannot wait to get home so I can wash my face.

A splash of water works well for a lot of people ! I wish I could do that too, but I have oily/combo skin and I wash my face in the morning with La Roche Posay Toleriane Foaming Face Wash for oily skin- it removes my nightime skincare routine without stripping away all of my skins oils and its pretty reasonably priced compared to fancier facewashes. I usually get it on sale on Amazon or use a coupon at ulta.

My only note here is to make sure to wash away any toothpaste from the face. It is an irritant. And washing that away will destroy my morning routine. So I brush my teeth and wash.

Re: Washing Face in the Morning

I just rinse my face in the morning with a few splashes.

I agree with you @NYCLatinaMe toothpaste can be a real irritant.

Be careful not to scrub so hard with scrubs, brushes, etc. It causes spider veins on the face. When a cluster come together it's rosacea like.

For the very sensitive less is more.
