Re: Washing Face in the Morning

My skin is dry b/c of various reasons some of which I have no control over. But since I have dry skin, I'd rather not use cleansers more than once daily. Most cleansers are formulated to remove oils, dirt and products from your skin but they also remove some of the skin's natural lipid layer. Some of us, like myself, don't have much of that to wash away and I would like to keep some of it on my skin as much as possible.

My morning routine involves a cleanser.

Re: Washing Face in the Morning

Cleansing my face again in the morning is a must as I regularly workout breaking a sweat daily.  I exfoliate and cleanse with a mild cleanser.

If a splash of water is working for you, I don't see any reason to change.  I stopped "washing" my face in the morning years ago when my complexion turned bone dry.  I use water and a washcloth to rinse my face in the morning but I don't wash it.   I rinse and apply my morning skincare.

Re: Washing Face in the Morning

I wash my face in the shower every morning.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser.  Walmart has a dupe.

I see you've gotten varying answers - some do and some don't.  And this is as expected as we all have different skin types, use different products, etc.  Myself --- sometimes I do and sometimes I don't!  If I have worn foundation, etc. the prior day and done a really through cleansing before going to bed, then I usually don't do another cleansing in the morning.  I juse rinse well and pat dry.  I will occasionally do a quick cleansing in the a.m. if my face looks shiny or feels like it needs it.  It depends on the look of my skin when I get up.

Re: Washing Face in the Morning

It's all personal preference. My skin is oily so I use a gentle cleanser morning and night. I always want to start and end my day with a clean, fresh face.
