Routine & cleansing
Do I need to cleanse my face in the morning?

Do I need to cleanse my face in the morning?
Morning cleansing depends on overnight products, sweat, oil, comfort, and personal preference. A second full cleanse can be unnecessary for some people and irritating for others.
Experiment with the least disruptive option: rinse, pat dry, moisturise if needed, and use sunscreen. If you use a prescribed treatment with specific washing instructions, follow those instructions instead.
