Pro tip: Cutting out my morning face wash fixed a dry skin issue

I was washing my face both morning and night with a foamy cleanser. My skin felt tight and looked dull by midday. So I tried only washing at night and just splashing water on my face in the morning. After two weeks, that tight feeling went away completely. My complexion looks brighter and feels way more comfortable. It's a simple change, but it really helped. Why did I think I needed to strip my skin so much, you know?

Totally did the same thing last year. Cutting back to just water in the morning made my skin way less angry.

Man, I used to scrub my face like I was cleaning a greasy pan. My skin was so mad at me, it probably would have left if it could. Your post explains a lot, lol.

So the big skincare secret was to just leave our faces alone in the morning?
