If you are considering going with a harsher cleanser that contains an active ingredient, we definitely recommend consulting with a dermatologist first. Apart from morning and nighttime, Dr. Westbay also clarifies that you might need to wash your face at additional times, depending on your lifestyle. &#8220;You should wash your face after a workout or any instance of excessive sweating, regardless of the time of day,&#8221; she tells us.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if you want to improve your skincare routine even more, make sure you don&#8217;t make this skin-cleansing mistake that may be causing breakouts!<\/p>\n<div class=\"before-ad\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-placeholder between-p\" data-ad-height=\"any\" data-ad-width=\"any\" data-ad-pos=\"between-p\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to properly wash your face, according to a dermatologist Lots of things happen to your skin once you stop washing your face, which is why dermatologists don&#8217;t recommend skipping your morning and nighttime routine. &#8220;It is recommended to wash your face twice a day \u2014 once in the morning and once at night,&#8221; Dr. [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4590,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4589"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4589\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4591,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4589\/revisions\/4591"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/karmahousecairns.com.au\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
