It's a little confusing because she said people splash their skin in the morning with water, dirty their white towels and then put on skincare, which she said was a waste. What if we have serums and moisturizers that use in the morning? If she is saying just wash with water, it contradicts, in my mind, what she said about people making a waste by just splashing with water.

I KNEW IT!!!!! For a few years now I’ve been lazily forgoing morning washes, just splashing water to clean off “boogers” (note- not usually wearing ANY makeup or mascara for weeks at a time); so besides air pollution it’s really just the oil and lotion I use after my evening shower before bed that remains on my face

I do that too!

I was diagnosed with Type II Rosacea about 15 years ago. It took me several years to realize that my foaming cleanser was killing my skin. Now, I know that two things will cause a flare up - not washing my face before bed and/or using a detergent-based cleanser. Purity is pretty much the only thing that soothes my skin back to normal (Rosacea Normal, of course) after a flare up. And, as you say, I don't wash with anything but warm water in the morning. With this strategy, I have been pretty much flare-up free for about 5 years. Thank you for this very important content. Most people have no idea that how they wash their face has such an impact.

I’m the exception. I tried not washing face in the am with mild cleanser and I broke out so badly. I spent so much more money going several times to two derms when I finally decided to go back to my usual routine of mild cleanse in the morning.

It’s still annoying to get water running down my hands all the way to my elbow

I used to be an overwasher. My skin would inflame from time to time and became extra sensitive. One of the times when I got an all over bad flare up, the dermatologist told me to stop using foaming cleansers. Being a person thinking I have the oiliest skin, it was a hard switch. But it was the best thing I have done for my face. I like to use a soaking wet washcloth or gauze-y cloth to help remove the cleansing oil (1st cleanse), then my lotion/creamy cleanser, and I have not gone back since. That was more than ten years ago. First step to better skin is definitely gentle cleansing and only using cleansers at night. ❤️

Take off your shirt (or wear a short sleeve) , lean over the tub (if you have one), and wash your face from the tub faucet. I’ve been doing this for over 30 years! Water goes in the tub instead of all over your sink.

I just started this technique this week and it’s changed my life! Thank you so much.

I appreciate your videos so much! You are helping so many people. I enjoy that you use a sense of humor and frankness to educate us. Thank you!!

I really enjoyed this video. I've noticed how much better my face looks and feels simply by slowing down and working the cleanser in. I definitely have to follow your lead on the wiping instead of rinsing because I usually end up soaked. Sleeves, chest, bathroom...

Hi Dr. Idris. Thank you so much for your educational videos. I have learnt a lot from them. In a sea of skincare products, with a sensitive skin, it has not been easy for me to find good products and, especially, the ones that suit me - I have suffered from sensitive, dry, itchy skin for years. Never dared to use any skincare product except moisturizer and sunscreen, leave alone makeup. I now know how to choose a product better - from you - although it's still a learning process for me. From your video recommendations of Bioderma Micellar H2O, I came across Bioderma Micellar face gel - that is mentioned as foamy but without soap. At first I was hesitant because of the word foamy but I bought it nonetheless because it mentioned "for sensitive skin". Plus it isn't expensive. I didn't need micellar H2O as you recommended since I do not wear makeup and am indoors mostly so heavy duty cleaning is not required. But the Bioderma miceller gel has been the best find for me. It is best cleanser I have used for my sensitive, dry skin that has always hated soaps and even so called gentle cleansers. I was surprised how it made my skin feel from the first use. While many people go overboard in their skincare, I nearly had given up on skincare because nothing ever seemed to suit my skin. I have rosacea and a sensitive skin that was "almost always" inflamed - which I found out after years of suffering - was also due to lactose intolerance - no Dr told me about this. I discovered this on my own. None of them suspected food intolerance or talked about effects of specific food on the skin. My skin has started to calm down after I completely gave up milk tea and coffee - Used to have 2 cups a day - the only form of milk product I used to consume on a regular basis. (You could do a video on effects of food types and nutrition on skin health). But thanks to you, I have now come to believe that there are good products out there that may suit one's skin as well as budget - we just need to choose them carefully. And I am hopeful and positive now. ❤

This is a technique I’ve used for many years & have recently gotten my daughter on board. You are so right regarding this method of cleansing. I know my face is clean & it feels so good when I apply my night sleeping cream. ❤

I’m so glad that you showed us this. Bc I’m so confused about cleansing my face. Thank you!!!

I stopped washing with cleanser when I wake up years ago - that and changing my pillowcases daily made a huge difference. Another weird thing I do is I work overnight so I reverse my skincare. I go to bed as soon as I get home, so I apply my skincare like retinol when I wake up, before work. Otherwise, I'd just lose most of my skincare to my pillowcase. I only see sun on my way home (rising sun) and apply sunscreen before leaving work, then wash my face with cleanser when I get home and follow up with a light moisturizer so it soaks in before going to bed.

But with that time difference, I don't know if the rule of 2 months usage and 1 month break applies to me. FYI: My face only has just a few tiny sun marks that have been almost erased with other skincare ingredients, but I use hydroquinone for sun damage and hyperpigmentation that I have in the back of my neck from where I used to work as a delivery guy.

I would use your hydroquinone and tretinoin Rx product more frequently than once a week. MWF approach to begin and then slowly increase to eventually nightly use as best tolerated. You still want to use your hydroquinone product cyclically. Two months on and one month off. I recommend getting a Rx for tretinoin by itself so you can continue to use that and reap the many benefits.

I use a very mild cream cleanser (Pai) in the morning, it’s zero stripping and makes me feel more moisturized than just water alone.

Thank you so much for your wonderful videos - they are always so informative and your personality is so fun to see and hear. I am recently a follower and I look forward to seeing and learning more from you in this New Year😊❤
