| Yes if I've worn any makeup that day, gotten extra sweaty, or worked outside in the yard. Otherwise I just wash once but focus on lathering the T zone area. |

What? We are supposed to wash our face twice?
No. I have very dry skin, I'm not washing it twice. |

| Yes- Love that squeaky clean feeling |

| No. I don't wear foundation so I don't find it necessary. If I wear eye makeup that day I'll remove with micellar water before and after cleansing. |

That's actually stripping your barrier. |

| Yes, oil cleanser followed by cream cleanser if I wear makeup. |

What’s the point?
Why do you need to use two cleansers? Well, here’s where the types matter. An oil-based cleanser is designed to remove oil-based impurities, including makeup, sunscreen, sebum, and pollution. By getting rid of this stuff first, the second water-based cleanser can really work its way into the skin, removing the likes of grime and sweat. https://www.healthline.com/health/beauty-skin-care/double-cleansing#double-cleansing-defined |

That’s a fake term by the beauty industry marketing to sell you barrier repair products. |

I use an eye makeup remover to get mascara off, since my regular face wash never seems to get it all and I wake up work black smudges if I skip this step.
Then I wash the entire face with Cetaphil or Cerave cleansers, just once. |

| Yes. In the p.m. only, I use a balm cleanser first to remove sunscreen and makeup if I wear it (I always wear sunscreen), then I follow with La Roche Poche gentle facial cleanser (this alone won’t remove makeup or sunscreen). |

| Probably not since I don't know what it means. Heck, I don't even wash my face every day. |
