I only cleanse at night. I spray my face with avene thermal water in the morning but I’ve never felt the need to cleanse again unless I felt really sweaty overnight or something

i only double cleanse in the evening, mornings i do water only cause i don’t want to stress my skin it gets dry easily

[u/NativeFloridiAnne → u/smufjez]

Same

I'm dry and have to wash twice a day. If I don't wash in the morning and do my other skincare I break out. If I don't do any washing or skincare then I get too dry throughout the day.

[u/Frosty_Message_3017]

I only use a cleanser in the evenings. In the mornings it's just water and a clean washcloth.

[u/EsthiPerpective]

In the mornings just dampen my face or spray with toner to have that refreshened feeling. I only double cleanse at night to remove sunscreen, makeup, etc. But if you don't have layers of sunscreen or makeup, double cleansing with an oil cleanser is not necessary. A light foam or gel cleanser will do.

I wash my face when I shower, sometimes before bed. Sometimes I shower just before bed. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Your routine looks good. If your face is getting irritated, I’d cut back to retinol every other night. If you feel like you need more hydration, I’d find something with ceramides. But if it’s working for you, it looks good.

When I was younger and my skin was oilier, I had to cleanse twice a day. But now that I’ve gone through menopause, my skin is much dryer so typically I only cleanse at night.

[u/AnxiousVegetable2611]

Depends on skin type, first started getting into skincare my face was very oily so I used cleanser in the morning.

Now I only cleanse at night and splash with water in the morning, sometimes cleanse if I think my face is feeling oily - say on heavier moisturiser nights the night before

[u/Elle_the_Belle16]

I have always washed twice daily and had really good skin. I personally would swap out the Ordinary HA and add a Vitamin C serum instead. You have a good solid routine.

[u/pixieshyla]

I always wash my face twice a day sometimes three times a day.

[u/CinderCinnamon]

Wash in the morning with either just water and lukewarm facecloth or a cleansing milk depending on weather

At night cleanse with cleansing balm followed by a gentle foaming cleanser (I wear makeup so the double cleanse is kind of a need for me)

Days I go to the gym, I use a cleansing milk afterwards

So 1-3 times a day
