Do you wash it again with face wash in the morning?

I do the Oil Cleansing Method at night, and then a quick swish around with a clean flannel and some water in the morning

WinterHeatWave · 24/01/2019 08:30

Splash of water at night.
Soap and water in the shower in the morning.

kaldefotter · 24/01/2019 08:33

Yes. Proper cleanse in the evening, then in the morning I use a creamy face wash in the shower. I don't think water would be adequate at removing the products I applied at night, and I want a clean face for applying daytime products.

anotherwearytraveller · 24/01/2019 08:34

Yes foaming face wash morning and night plus again in the day after exercise
Use a v gentle one but it doesn’t feeel clean unless I use proper wash and water.

greenelephantscarf · 24/01/2019 08:35

soap (from a bar) & flannel at night.
just warm water & flannel in the morning.

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 24/01/2019 08:45

Facial wash in the evening, quick wipe around the face with some cleanser on cotton wool in the morning followed by a swish of toner.

TheDowagerCuntess · 24/01/2019 08:45

Double cleanse at night, and then water and face cloth in the shower in the morning.

HeronLanyon · 24/01/2019 08:47

Hot water and face cloth night and morning. Followed each time by simple hydrating moisturiser. Never use anything else. Seems to work (people don’t run away in terror) Grin

DonnaDarko · 24/01/2019 08:50

I don't always remember to cleanse at night, but I cleanse every morning, regardless

I have oily skin so I really should cleanse at night!

MinesaPinot · 24/01/2019 09:09

Eye makeup remover, then micellar water then cleansing balm in the evening.

Micellar water only in the morning

artemisdubois · 24/01/2019 09:49

I double cleanse and moisturise at night, but I don't do anything to my face in the morning before applying my makeup.

I'd like to be able to cleanse in the morning, and I'd like to be able to add extra products into my routine, but I spent all of my mid-twenties battling acne and I find that doing anything more than the bare minimum to my skin always causes it to flare up again.

NiteFlights · 24/01/2019 09:58

No, only with water in the shower (don’t tell Caroline Hirons).

LinoleumBlownapart · 24/01/2019 10:08

Shower and wash my face with Dove soap and then moisturize at night. Splash cold water and moisturize in the morning.

MeetOnTheledge · 24/01/2019 10:27

No, just water in the shower. Hot cloth cleanser at night then night cream, so there isn't much to remove in the morning.

JinglingHellsBells · 24/01/2019 10:30

I never wash my face.
We have hard water here and it makes my skin taut.

I use a cleansing balm and a hot flannel at night sometimes using micellar water first to remove make up.

In the morning I use micellar water- you'd be amazed at how grubby the cotton wool pad is when you've just been asleep all night.

JinglingHellsBells · 24/01/2019 10:31

Slightly envious of people who can get away using soap and water for their faces in the shower. Mine would be red raw, dry and lined.

UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 24/01/2019 10:35

I wash my face in the morning with simple soap, and moisturise with Clinique moisture surge if wearing no makeup or Olay sensitive beauty fluid if wearing make up.

I wash my face at night in the same way if I've been wearing make up, but sometimes don't if I haven't been wearing make up.

ScarlettDarling · 24/01/2019 10:35

Sounds like I do the same as lots of others on here. I remove my makeup thoroughly at night with a hot cloth cleanser. In the morning I just use water on my face, followed by moisturiser.

BlingLoving · 24/01/2019 10:37

Proper cleansing at night to remove make up and general daily grime, then micellar water in the morning. I exfoliate once or twice a week, and do that in the shower in the morning.

BlingLoving · 24/01/2019 10:38

And just to say, washing and moisturising your face at night as the single most important thing you can do for your skin, IMO.

sherrysfortea · 24/01/2019 10:44

Proper wash in the evening and then in the morning I spray toner onto cotton wool and wipe my face

IamTheMeg · 24/01/2019 10:44

I double cleanse at night before products. I don't do anything at all in the morning, I have lush line free skin if I do say so myself! Grin I read somewhere once this was the best thing to do, I can't remember why!

MeetOnTheledge · 24/01/2019 10:49

Slightly envious of people who can get away using soap and water for their faces in the shower. Mine would be red raw, dry and lined.

That's what happens to mine if I use micellar water.

Stormwhale · 24/01/2019 10:51

Yes, acne face wash morning and night.
