That’s what I do. Or often times if I don’t want to use a vitamin C serum, I just moisturize. Learned that stripping my face of my natural oils in HS was not good 🤣🤣I use the Ava Naturals one, and it also has salicylic acid in it. Is it normal that it will break me out? I’ve taken it out of my routine, and my face is much clearer now, but Ik that SA will bring gunk out
I wash my face with only water and my evening routine is double cleansing. I used to have severe cystic acne now got clear skin. It works great for me.
Hm still depends on the person skin type and the climate. I have naturally oily skin and the climate is hot and extremely humid, I sweat a lot at night. If I don't clean my face with a little bit of cleanser, I'll get breakouts. I tried to not cleanse for one month, my skin was horrible.
Yup. She totally forgot about people in hot climate & high humidity. As someone from Malaysia 🇲🇾 with oily acne prone skin, if I don't cleanse in the morning, pimples start popping up at 11 am! Even the so-called matte moisturizer / sunscreen looks shiny on me, that's how oily & sweaty I am from 11am - 5pm 😂.
Same skin type here. Even washing my face twice a day with a cleanser with multiple acids (stearic, myristic, lauric, capric, citric) does not guarantee an acne-free face for me.
Me personally I do cleanse my skin in the morning and it's not negotiable. I did try twice to just splash water and another morning with a cold washcloth and I seriously did not like the feeling of my skin all day long at work (combination skin) even in winter. It felt like an accumulation of my night products and my morning products. It was just too much. So I prefer to gently cleanse my skin and feel fresh and clean for the day.
@@AD-jq7ow I take my shower before going to bed like mostly everyone. I know some people shower morning and night but I believe it depends of the environment.
I have oily skin and the moment i stopped using a cleanser and just washing my face with cold water or spraying my face with rose water in the morning was a GAME CHANGER!
My skin is always in the oily side as much as i can remember, but 3 years ago i started to wash my face with ONLY water and i can tell you my skin is definitely less greasy now❤️
My skin is thin and dry, so I don’t cleanse in the morning during winter and just cool water in the summer. I was raised in the “cleanser, toner, moisturizer twice a day Mary Kay standard and my skin did not benefit. Appreciate your insight.
I heard this from you in a different vid and tried it, I’m #teamdry hugeeee difference!!! I went from cleansing in the morning, to using micellar water, to not washing at all, to now, where I just wash with only a little bit of water, amazing results! Incredible, thanks for the tip! 🙏🏼❤
Tried that after retinal the night before and wanted to just use EUK134 as I normally would in the morning, my face flared up like crazy! So I use a gentle cleanser if I need to wash off retinal in the morning as it doesn’t come off completely with just water.
I've been washing with only a wet microfiber face cloth no matter what skin care I've used the night before. I feel clean and soft and so far no breakouts, so thumbs up from me!!
Also you wanna rinse your face like your rinsing off a face wash, really well. And make sure pillow case and blankets are always clean and your hair is out of your face while you sleep too
Yeah depends on the person of course I see people saying they stopped the morning wash and it was better for them but me personally if I wash night and morning then I notice I have wayyyy less blackheads on my nose
I have normal to combination skin type and use pigmentation treatments. I use a milk gentle cleanser in the morning and skip toner and then evenings I use my gel cleanser and toner. I love how good my skin feels in the AM.
Tried both washing (cleanser) n not washing (washing only with water)…everyone should try it once helps natural skin oils to balance themselves when skin is irritated or dry
First I found out about this from Liah Yoo and it did wonders to my skin. Probably because I have dry skin so it’s best not to over strip my face. Now another skincare RU-vidr I like is also backing this tip. And on the bright side, my cleanser lasts longer now too 😂
When I used a cleanser in the morning consistently, my face became very oily. The moment I started only using it at night, my skin’s oiliness was pretty balanced and back to normal
My skin has been SOOO much better since I stopped using a cleanser in the morning I just use water and it takes most of the superficial skin oil and doesn't leave my skin super dry
I have acne prone oily skin. This tip used to scare me but it's work ngl. I skip cleanser, just wash with lukewarm water. I use gentle cleanser at night and to control my acne i replace gentle cleanser with salicylic acid cleanser twice or thrice a week. Works wonder for me.
I only wash my face with a cleanser in the morning if I wore Benzol peroxide. Sometimes if the retinol is irritating me I’ll wash with a cleanser. And sometimes I don’t even do a water wash in the morning, but only if I can tell my skin is doing well with it and not going to put much on my face
I have dry skin, but also acne prone. I tried skipping my cleanser in the morning, which actually made me produce white heads by the end of the day. White heads lead to more breakouts.
i love doing the “slugging” technique by using Vaseline on my face as the last step in my skincare routine in the PM to seal in the moisture. It has done wonders for my dry sensitive skin! My only issue is in the morning I only wash my face with water and no cleansers as my skin is sensitive and dry, but I am worried that when I apply sunscreen in the morning it is not forming the proper layer of film it needs to form with my skin to provide that sun protection??? Due to the Vaseline being an occlusive and not letting the sunscreen inside?? So should I be washing my face with a proper cleanser in the morning to remove the Vaseline off my face before applying sunscreen in the morning??? Or do you think washing with water is enough and that sunscreen will be fine to apply on top of it?
honestly my skin hates cleansers, i had always checked the ingredients before purchasing a cleanser, non comedogenic, no essential oils, no alcohol, non fungal acne stuff no this no that u name it. But when i used that supposed to be "safe" cleanser, my skin would either break out or become "bumpy", clogged pores everywhere. and now im thankful that ive finally found my way to cleanse the face, i only use garnier micellar water (the pink one is the best for me due to the good and simple ingredients), then i splash my face with plain water and thats it (then followed with toner and moisturizer). i do this every am and pm and my skin has never been this clean and soft. cuz for me, textured or bumpy skin is my #1 pet peeve so finally achieving a clear and soft textured skin is my greatest achievement yet!
@@heeeq0 yes. She said to only do a splash of water on warmer days (after warmer nights), and not on colder days. But I always do one splash... followed by a serum and aftersun. It's enough for me in the morning.
But what if you use a thick cream at night and you’re acne prone? I feel like if I don’t use a cleanser to wash my creams and retinol off it would break me out and cause build up of products?
Her statement is too general. She totally forgot about people in hot climate & high humidity. As someone from Malaysia 🇲🇾 with oily acne prone skin, if I don't cleanse in the morning, pimples start popping up at 11 am! Even the so-called matte moisturizer / sunscreen looks shiny on me, that's how oily & sweaty I am from 11am - 5pm 😂. Unless you're in air-conditioned room, for people like me, too many products built up (from the night before) with morning skincare products is a disaster!
@@Nana-ir5bf I live in a very very very hot and humid country and my skin is super oily, greasy, sweaty and acne-prone. Not using a cleanser is something unimaginable for me. Cleansing with a mild cleanser in the morning and cleansing with a salicylic acid foaming cleanser at night (or whenever I get home from outside) lets my skin breathe and feel good. And my skin can't tolerate moisturizer, no matter how lightweight, non-comedogenic it is. I only use a separate moisturizer in the winter (and our winter is not very cold either lol). And I didn't start retinol yet, so I don't need moisturizer.
I’m sorry, maybe I’m broken, I cannot for the life of me get over the sensory nightmare of feeling like I’m just swooshing grease all over my face whenever I’ve tried this. It feels so gross and uncomfortable and I end up breaking out, too. I just can’t get over feeling like I’m layering more product on top of grease. Is that something that would go away with time, do you think, or is this more a recommendation for a very specific subset of peeps?
Warm water only in the AM. Saves product, saves time and skin is more balanced. Especially if you're double cleansing, exfoliating etc the night before really just have the skin alone. A bit of toner if you're especially oily or essence if you're dry then continue with dozen other products we all use lol.. 🤣
I only rinse my face in the morning with cool water and my skin feels a little tight. I use retinol and plenty of moisturizers before bed. I have oily skin with dry patches
What if we’re in an area with really hard water? I noticed that even washing my face with just water in the morning can make it red and dry (even with applying moisturizer after)
I wash my face with Cerave hydrating bar face soap in the evening and in the morning I only use warm water..have done for decades b/c I was stripping my skin doing it twice a day.. I use the Cerave face bar at night b/c it's the only face cleanser that did not leave my face feeling too tight and irritated.
i just use micellar water in the morning cause i hate the feeling of oil, it would actually drive me insane. but i use a moisturiser after tho and then i wait for it to absorb into my skin and i put on sunscreen
I always skip that morning wash IF I washed my face the night before. I don't have time for all that with multiple little kids it's just hard because they're so hyper in the morning. But sometimes if I didn't wash the night before I will obviously.
I'm on the oily side and I cannot really imagine applying serums and creams on my skin after night without washing off the excess oil first. How can plain water take that off? I think the golden mean for us the oily squad would be using a gentle cleanser like a squalane one.
I don’t think it’s the product itself that causes sun sensitivity, it’s the effect it has in your skin that causes photosensitivity. So if you use it, any time of the day, just always protect from the sun.
@@naynay3174 😊 ok but I have dry skin and I would prefer not to use cleanser in the morning but if I use retinol the night before do I use water only or should I use cleanser?
@@nker6221 maybe you could use micellar water with a cotton pad? Mine (CeraVe) says “cleanses, hydrates and removes makeup without disrupting the protective skin barrier” on the label.
Hi! My only question would be if i dont wash my face in the morning and just splash water, would the actives ingredients like vitamin c and niacinamide been able to penetrate and work??? Thank you Doctor ❤
I STOPED washing my face so much and finaly my skin got better!!!! Now I only use gel cleanser mabye twice a week in the shower and only use Micelar water and water instead. I do have dry skin but I also stoped using my cerave moisturizer at night and dubbled down on the spf
Is it ok to wash my face in the AM with your pillowtalk cleanser? That’s what I’ve been doing recently. Idk my face just doesn’t feel clean with just water.
I personally wash my face in the morning with a cleanser (I have oily, acne-prone skin) because unfortunately I don't wash my sheets and my pillowcases as often as I should so I prefer to wash my face just in case. But that's just a personal opinion
I used to do this but the thing is, I do spot treatment with benzoyl peroxide at night and I'm always left with this layer of the dried cream in the morning
I have quick question , does not having a clean canvas when not washing your face in the morning , using your treatment and serums become less effective when not on top of clean skin?
I’m black. We use oily products in our hair & wash it every 2 weeks and I have acne prone skin. If I don’t wash my face in the morning after sleeping on a oily pillow i breakout…
I also never have got the habit to use a cleanser in the morning having an oily face. However, I’m starting my Vit C serum now just before sunscreen. So would that be fine? Washing with water, serum and sunscreen?
does this recommendation change at all the week before one's menstrual cycle starts? usually, that is when my skin is at its most oily and most prone to breakouts
I’ve almost never washed my face in the morning, unless I was showering or just splashing my face with water. I have very dry skin, so cleansing twice a day would be horrendous for my skin.
Oily people is better of doing a gentle wash in the morning. Not just splashing water. Also, chances are if you are oily you have something else going on like acne, at least blackheads, so you are better off washing your face and doing your morning actives on a clean face. It’s hard for people with dry or normal skin to comprehend.
