Do you wash your face first thing in the morning? {Your Opinion}

Swathy · June 15, 2012 · 39 Comments

When do you wash your face? In the shower or when you brush your teeth? I generally wash my face in the shower, howsoever late that may be. Its very rare that I wash my face first thing in the morning. But, it is supposed to be a good routine to wash your face first thing in the morning to remove all the oil accumulated at night as well as to remove the dead cells which have been accumulated when the skin repairs itself. Also, scrubbing in the morning is said to be extremely beneficial to remove the dead skin cells and reveal glowing skin. So, when do you wash your face?

    I generally splash water, do not use face wash as I have dry skin, do you think washing it with cleanser would be a good idea?

      hmmm…I woukd say using cleanser one in the morning is definitely a good idea whenever you use it – either in shower or right along brushing. I would vote for shower 😀

      hmmm…that’s I guess a good routine Simran 🙂 green gram really cleanses the face well 🙂 but, what you do in the shower then??? its just that I feel unclean if I don’t wash my face in the shower!!!

      swati, oriflame’s essentials 3 in 1 cleanser has been doing wonders for my skin. i am using it for the past 1 year though there have been new introductions from oriflame every now and then. since i am also an amway and avon consultant, if i am stuck with this cleanser then that itself should speak volumes about this product. now my 14yr old daughter also uses this occassionally.
      it comes as a 150ml pack fair enough to go for 2 months. its a pea size that is required for a wash. cleanses the face perfect. the fragrance is too good. mrp is 279.
      just incase u want to try, u cud always mail me

      tat is a gud idea. i always used to brush my teeth, apply cleanser and then wash off using a face scrub and face wash in one go. ur routine will let the cleanser stay on the wash for some time thus ensuring better results.hmmmm…. i am gonna change my routine to yours. thnx divine blush….

    i wash my face every morning after brushing and never noticed dis practice until u mentioned :p

    Splashing water on face is a practice and never a planned routine for me

      yeah, me too, Vanu, I always forget to splash water on my face, especially I need more on my eyes to wake me up 😀
      haha…I know some things are so ingrained that we don’t often notice it 🙂

    i wash my face as soon as i brush my teeth. i might brush only after my bed coffee though. and when i wash my face, i add face scrub and face wash together in one go. beleive me, this routine has helped my skin in getting clear a lot

      oh my gosh….5 is really too much even for summers. you should really limit it to 3 otherwise your face will become too dry as you get old!!!

    I wash it right after brushing. I don’t like doing it in the shower, because the water might get too hot for my face – I’ve heard you should only use cool water on your face.

      oh yes, you are right about cool water but since its so hot these days, I am taking bath with normal water only so kinda no issues with that 🙂

    I wash my face right after brushing. I feel very uncomfortable if I haven’t washed my face and all the dirt and oils from the night are still on.

    Yes, your skin does get too dry if you wash too much!!! I used to wash twice a day and even then my skin was too dry. I went to a professional and she gave me Glymed Plus gentle wash and now I wash twice a day, everything is clean and moist.
