Yes, you should wash your face in the morning — but the exact approach depends on your skin type and what products you use at night.
Here's why morning cleansing can help:
-
Removes overnight sweat, oil, and dead skin.
-
Washes away residue from nighttime products.
-
Preps your skin for morning skincare (like vitamin C, moisturizer, or SPF).
-
Helps wake up your skin and reduce puffiness.
Skin-Type Guide:

🔄 Maybe. Try rinsing with just water or using a creamy, non-stripping cleanser. -
Normal or combo skin:
🧼 Yes, opt for a mild cleanser to refresh and balance your skin.
Bonus Tips:

Avoid harsh scrubs in the morning.
-
Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen, especially if going outside.
