Should I be using a washcloth with my cleanser every time I wash my face even if my cleanser isn’t oil-based?
Dr Sonia says:
Using a washcloth is not always necessary, especially for daily use, if your skin is sensitive. For most people, using a washcloth a few times a week with a gentle cleanser is fine but if you have sensitive skin, the excessive rubbing may cause redness.
If you don’t use an oil cleanser, a washcloth can still help with removing makeup or impurities but isn’t required daily unless you want to use it in your routine.
