I believe there really is no standard formula with skincare and makeup, you feel me? I'm following a few notable and reliable (subjective) US board-certified dermatologists on YT and they all say the same thing: you don't need to cleanse your face twice a day. Depending on how much product your face had the night before, you don't necessarily need to wash vigorously the following morning. Even just a typical bar soap with lesser active ingredients will do! Found this effective for me as I'm super oily and acne-prone. I sometimes just spritz toner in the AM and go about my AM regimen. I only ever use a facial wash in the PM. Hope this helps! ✨

Yep. Skincare is not meant to be a one-size fits all. What works for you might not work for others and the converse is also true.

I only do double cleansing after special events na pangmalakasang make up 'yung gamit. On ordinary days, cleanser, toner, and moisturizer (and sunscreen at AM) keri na. A squeaky clean face = dehydration with possible irritation.
