What are the best times of day to wash/cleanse, etc. your face?

Question

I usually just wash my face once a day, before I go to bed and use all my ance products, creams and things at the time. Also in the shower, which I usually take in the middle of the day or evening. Is this okay or enough? Should I be washing my face/using my acne products when I wake up in the morning?

Answer 1

morning and night - when you first get out of bed, and when you go to sleep. but i actually just learned that you should do different routines at night than in the morning, depending on what type of skin you have and what kind of problems you're having with your skin.

there's a new online tool that can help you determine your skin type, then will outline what you should do during what parts of the day, and recommend popular products and brands as well. i just blogged about it if you want to learn more:
