How crucial is a morning cleanser?

I’ve recently seen skinfluencers say they don’t use a morning cleanser and was wondering the benefits/downsides of this method. If it is crucial, what are some gentle cleansers to not over strip the skin? I have combination oily skin btw :)

Skipping morning cleansing is not something people with oily skin can afford 😄 I tried to do this for a week when everyone kept bragging about it but it was terrible: my skin felt uncomfortable and I started to break out after a few days so I went back to cleansing in the morning. So it's not for everyone. You can try it, but don't force yourself to not use the cleanser if cleansing twice a day works for you better.

A lot of people with dry(er) skin like this method because it does not strip the natural sebum away in the mornings. I have combination skin and absolutey do not like this 🙈 However, I do use a very very gentle cleanser in the morning and a 'more cleansing' one in the evening.

Thank you! I have combination skin and I think my current morning cleanser is just too stripping so I’ll try out this one!

My skin is sensitive leaning but it can get very oily if I don't keep it balanced. If I wake oily I'll cleanse - if not then I'll just splash some water on. I think what is important is that you pay attention to the needs of your skin.

Those persons who have ultra sensitive skin and are not prone to acne can skin morning cleanser…it’s all about listening to your own skin Combination and oily skin, I’d definitely encourage the use of a morning cleanser because any buildup of oil and dead skin cells is a recipe for breakouts

I never skip the morning cleanser. It is important as you want to wash away all the toxins that you’ve sweat out during the night. I have dry skin and hence use a creamier cleanser in the morning.
