Help with skincare regime? cleanse or exfoliate! please answer?

sometimes when i take off my make up at night, i feel like i need to exfoliate other wise i might have flakes in the morning. I feel that if i cleanse instead and exfoliate in the morning its really dries up my skin. Also how many times a day should i cleanse, and should it be i the mornings or night times. I also want to know how many times a day should i moisturise? i really dont know about the typical skin care routine, no one has ever taught. All i know is that i need to take make up off before i go to bed. thanks for all answersHelp with skincare regime? cleanse or exfoliate! please answer?

beauticians recommend you cleanse morning and night and only exfoliate once a week.


personally i cleanse at night and just splash water on my face in the morning.


at night to take your make up off you should cleanse, tone then moisturise. toner takes off all the make up the cleanser didn't and gets rid of any dead skin cells, helps unclog pores and prevent pimples, it's fantastic and should be an essential part of your skin care regime.


then you moisturise. you can do it as often as you like, personally i just do it after i wash my face, so at night and after i splash my face in the morning.





if you follow a routine like this you won't feel like you need to exfoliate so often. the toner makes sure your skin is totally clean and moisturiser stops dry skin so there won't be any flakes. then once a week you exfoliate, if you do it too often it really dries your skin out and then it will flake, so keep it to once a week.





good luck! i'm 21 and this is what i've been doing since i was about 13, cleanse, tone and moisturise and your skin will be great!
I believe that ur skin is dry type. Some basic advice to u:


a) you need to cleanse twice per day eg. morning and night. of cos, u have to remove ur makeup at night time. Think u might to change a cleanser to suite ur skin type. Dont cleanse too much as ur skin will get worse. if ur skin getting oily during afternoon time, use a tissue and genlte clean ur face.


b) exfoliate is required 1 per week as ur skin will dry up if u do too much exfoliate.


c) after cleansing ur skin, apply toner and moisturiser (for dry skin) every am and pm. think the weather also cos part of ur skin problem. Do take note that during summer, apply light moisturiser. Also, remember to apply sunblock during am.


d) Do hydrating masque twice/ three times per week. It will help to retain moisturise for ur skin.





If you really lose, u may to go the facial counter for free advises.
I find it better to exfoliate in the evening after having cleansed and then apply your night cream as this gives your skin a good rest overnight and a chance to absorb the benefit of your night cream.


If i exfoliate in the morning my face tends to feel sore and a bit prickly as i use a moisturiser with spf 30.


you need to exfoliate 2 or 3 times per week.


You should cleanse in the morning and in the evening. I used to just rinse my face with warm water in the evening but i was told that you need to remove any oily residue left behind from a night cream or your day cream won't absorb properly.


I find olive oil used on a damp cotton pad will remove eye make up beautifully and is so cheap, plus it doesn't aggravate the eye area.
