How often should you cleanse daily?

I spoke to someone recently who has worked in Space NK for years and completely denounces washing your face with cleanser in the morning. However, I know others (including myself) who cleanse morning and night… which is better for your skin?

I personally like washing my face in the morning. I make sure to use a hydrating cleanser so that I’m not completely stripping and drying out my skin. It just makes me feel fresh, and that I’m starting on a good canvas for moisturiser and sunscreen.

Haha, a highly contentious beauty topic! I personally cleanse twice (or three times, depending on how you look at it!), one light cleanse in the morning (milk or gel etc) and then a double cleanse at night (balm/oil/cream then something lighter). Virtually every single facialist/derm I’ve ever spoken to says that you should be cleansing your skin in the morning to get rid of the sweat that accumulates on your face while sleeping. Love a morning cleanse, just gives your skin a fresh/balanced feeling and makes your make-up go on miles better than without in my opinion. Think the key here is - like for many beauty queries - do what works for you. You can always cleanse in the shower if you’re short on time, and the issue is that your skin feels stripped/tight afterwards then I’d probably argue your current is probably not the right formula for you.

I have dry skin, so I double cleanse at night & then just wash with water in the morning! This works for my skin type but I think it’s all about what works for you!
