Should You Wash Your Face Every Morning? Experts Weigh In

Should you wash your face every morning? For years, the answer was twice a day, morning and night. However, more and more experts argue that there are benefits to skipping the morning wash.

Celebrity facialist Angela Caglia advises to stop cleansing the face in the morning, as the skin produces natural lipids during the night that keep it hydrated and elastic.

This view makes sense, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. However, if you have oily or acne-prone skin, it is best to cleanse morning and night. Also, if you have used retinol or strong acids at night, you need to gently remove the residue in the morning.
