The Liz Moody Podcast · Ranking Skincare Advice From Social Media (with Dr. Sam Ellis) · 25 May 2026 podcast

Sure.

I mean, I can't say that it's the non-skin washing that's leading to her fabulous appearance.

Yeah.

But I have to say I do agree with her that you really don't need to wash your face in the morning and it can be beneficial.

Okay, why is the mechanism that she shared in that video, why it's beneficial?

To some degree, yes.

So your skin undergoes a lot of repair while you're sleeping.

It's why sleep is so important also for skin.

And you do generate some new oils and you sort of restore your skin barrier overnight.

And you don't need to cleanse in the morning.

You didn't get dirty overnight.

So by the time you have put it on, slept, rolled on your pillowcase, et cetera, it's either absorbed into your skin or it's absorbed into your pillowcase.

And even though some small remnants of it might still be on your skin, for most people, that's going to be completely fine to just proceed with your routine.

I usually recommend just like a water rinse and then go in with it.

Okay.

So where would we rank this advice?

I would put this as like A tier advice.

Yes.

I think for people who have really oily skin, who wake up and feel greasy or shiny, there are some people who just have a lot of sebaceous activity.

Sometimes that happens during pregnancy, during puberty, and some people are just oilier people.
