I have somewhat dry/combination skin and I don’t wash my face in the morning, I just put on sunscreen and go. I used to cleanse with cetaphil but I felt like my skin was too dry. I tried just wiping with micellar water at one point but I had a reaction to the micellar water so I just stopped doing anything in the morning altogether. Dermatologists seem to have differing opinions on this. I haven’t asked mine yet but she thinks my skin is good so she would tell me to just keep doing whatever I’m doing. |
I rinse my face with water only. I have pretty good skin and washing with cleanser every morning would dry me out. |
I shower but don't wash my face with soap in the morning. Sunscreen and go. |
No, I don't. I just apply sunscreen. |
I shower in the morning and have been using a sugar scrub, but not soap. I use a moisturizer with sunscreen after. |
I dampen a washcloth and use it to wipe my face down, which removes both any product I put on my face overnight as well as any dead skin cells that I might be sloughing off. I find doing this makes my skin accept my sunscreen more easily and, if I do wear makeup, it goes on smoother. |
In the morning, I rinse my eyes to wake up, and put on sunscreen. I shower before bed and wash my face then with a mild facial cleanser, to get rid of sunscreen, before putting on night-time moisturizer and/or retinol.

Yes. Cetaphil bar soap. |
If I take a shower, then yes I do. If I take a shower later, I just splash water on my face and apply sunscreen. But whenever I shower I wash my face, more out of habit I guess than anything else.
I think if it's working for you, that's fine! If your kids seems irritated or oily, than maybe add a moisturizing cleanser. I do think using something gentle is key if you are washing more than once a day. |
49yrs old and very greasy oily skin. I wash with a gentle cleanser morning and night. |
Yes, with a very gentle cleanser. I use tretinoin and a heavy cream at night. Feels greasy and I get breakouts if I don't start fresh. |
Yes, with cetaphil foaming cleanser. I’m addicted to this process and my face feels “unclean” if I don’t do it. I follow up with lotion after. |
No, just water in the shower in the winter. In the summer, I'll often do a quick wipe of Dove soap that I use on the rest of my body as well. Then a tiny bit of cetaphil moisturizer, eye cream, sunscreen, a little makeup. |
No. Just rinse with cool water. |
Same. I also like to make sure I add new moisturizer in the morning, even if I'm not using retinol the previous night. I dont like applying moisturizer to "dirty" overnight skin lol. |
