If you’ve ever wondered, “Do I have to cleanse my face in the morning?”, the answer is a tricky one. But for argument’s sake, we discovered four celebrities who forego their morning cleanse, and we’ve got to say, their skin looks pretty good…
Kirsten Dunst
"I always wash my face at night but I think it's really important to not wash your face in the morning,” the 34-year-old told InStyle magazine. “There's no reason to.”

Salma Hayek
Speaking to New York magazine, the 50-year-old actress said, “ I don’t wash my face in the morning — never, never, never. I just moisturise.”

Michelle Phan
The beauty vlogger revealed to the Huffington Post, “I don't wash my face in the morning. I know that might sound gross to some people but essentially when you're sleeping and your pillows are clean, all you need to do in the morning is wipe down [your face] with a wet cloth.”

Kristen Bell
"I actually don’t wash my face in the morning. I wash it at night in the shower so my pores are open,” Kristen told InStyle magazine. “I have sensitive skin and dry skin, so all the oils that come out at night, I need to save. I run a wash cloth under the InstaHot or nuke it in the microwave and just set a hot towel on my face for 20 seconds every single day.”

Always wash my face every morning when I have my morning Shower, and make sure that I cleanse all makeup off at night before I go to bed.

Absolutely not for me. I wash my face multiple times a day.

Do what you think is best for you skin, yes, but as for following at least two of the celebrities cited in this article - absolutely not. They have given TERRIBLE advice over the years, including deliberately telling people to skip sunscreen and to try using kitty litter as a face mask. (I wish I were making up that last "tip". Thanks for the laughs, Michelle.)
If you use actives overnight, I honestly don't understand why you would not properly wash that off the next day.

You just get so use to doing something don't you, thinking another is odd, bit like conditioning your hair first

They all have beautiful skin which says a lot but then again that could be there gene's but still if they have been doing this for year's that still says a lot compared to other's that do it twice a day. Such beautiful women they all are.

I agree with the ladies but if I feel at any time I need a good clean I wipe my face with miceller water over it I wash my face at night especially after wearing make-up etc. That way you go to sleep nice & clean. What's the point doing it in the morning when mainly you only need to do at night before bed?

I agree with these celebrities and don't use a cleanser in the morning. I feel like it's too stripping for my skin

This sounds like a very interesting method, and they all have lovely skin. I might have to try it!

I thoroughly cleanse at night but only use the shower water in the morning to rinse my face.

I usually only wash my face when I shower be it day or night and if I don't shower that day I won't wash or moisturise. I think too much washing of any part of our skin can strip the natural oils. I had a dermatologist many years ago tell me we really only need to wash under our arms and our feminine bits unless we have done something like sweat or swim in chlorine etc that does need the skin to be cleaned from. For the most part that's what I do but as a swimmer I always wash after being in the water as the chlorine is very drying and I don't like to leave any chemical residue on any part of me.

Hmm, I've been thinking of doing this, because I've heard that it's supposed to be pretty good for those with oily skin.

I always wash it in the morning .. And night .. Is this wrong? It makes sense to try to keep those natural oils on the skin ... I will give it a try to just splash.. Thanks for the thought BH!

Everyone - EACH TO THEIR OWN. Your skin is highly personal (duh) and what works for one person may not work for you.
My skin is combination and I use alot of hydrating layers at night so i do have a bit of slick in the morning which I like to properly cleanse off.

My skin is quite oily by morning, so I have always cleansed, but i suppose if you just went over it with a warm flannel an then toned it would be very similar.

I use micellar water only in the morning, prior to toning and moisturizing. My skin feels clean and ready to absorb the cream. Works for me!

I always wash my face in the morning - it helps clear the 'muesli' from the corners of my eyes.

I do a quick wipe over with toner and moisturise. I would imagine we shed a lot of skin cells during sleep and it's good to clean that up

Nice to know I don't have to feel guilty about not washing my face in the morning. I always at least wipe with a warm cloth though. It just feels good.

Hmm I do find that odd! I ALWAYS wash my face I feel disgusting if I don't & just the wakeup I need also... I do only wash with water though not cleanser so maybe that is what they are referring to as in a proper cleanse/wash?

For years I only ever cleansed in the morning, & just used wipes of a night before bed. Lately I've been cleansing of a night & just giving my face a quick wipe with Micellar water & then going in with toner & moisturiser before I apply makeup. I've found that I don't have to use so much makeup to cover my redness this way.

I don't cleanse my face in the morning, just splash some water around, I either get straight out of bed into my work clothes and leave (6am start - too early to function till I've got coffee in me), or I'm putting on my sneakers to go for a walk. I make sure I thoroughly cleanse after I workout and every night in the shower.

Wow! I find this so strange not too! You have slept on it all night, sweated or drooled on yourself! Lol, I couldn't imagine not washing my face in the morning to kick start my day! Just a quick toner or at least a mireacle water to feel refreshed and give my face a nice clean base for my make up.

Wow ok, that's interesting. I feel compelled to wash my face in the morning because I feel as if it clogs throughout the night? I don't feel clean if I don't!

Honestly I don't understand why if 'celebrities don't wash their faces in the morning' is a newsworthy topic. There are more things in life more important -sorry :(

Living in Queensland... you've got to be joking. I also have oily & blemish prone skin so need to keep on top of it.

Exactly! Or if using skincare at night, I really need to give my face good wash before putting daily serum/cream

I have oily skin so I feel better if I wash my face again in the morning, although I used to just give a quick swipe of toner.
