skincare routine or shower first?

At the end of the day where I wear full face makeup and need to shower, I wonder what I should do first. Doing my night time routine first means that the product I apply may get washed away. However, showering first is bad for the skin, right? I’ve thought about doing the routine in two sections: remove makeup and maybe double cleanse before showering, then continue after but I’m just worried that my skin will feel dry during the shower, especially since it will be steamy. Applying moisturiser before the shower seems a bit pointless since it’ll need to be washed away… What are your thoughts on this or what is your routine like for this type of encounter?

Hello, I usually do the double cleanse before the shower, then I apply a wash-off mask and I jump in the shower. The mask is working so well at heat, and even if I get some drops on my face it's not bad 👏 When I get out from the shower, I remove the mask then continue my evening routine. I'm just a big face mask fan, I have lots and I enjoy using them :)

I oil cleanse before entering the shower and then rinse it off in the shower. After washing my hair I use a normal cleanser to get rid of all the shampoos and conditioner (still in the shower)

I’ve always stayed away from washing my face in the shower, maybe because it may be too hot. I should try it with a cooler temperature ^^

I shower first before doing my skincare routine ~ If you are afraid of drying out your skin, definitely consider using a hydrating wash-off mask (as per an earlier comment) or even a sheet mask (have heard of people doing this before). I usually wash my face in the shower after my first cleanse, so drying out doesn't really apply to me. Also you can spray on a hydrating mist immediately after you get out of the shower if you are afraid of drying your skin out further... before you proceed with the rest of your skincare routine.

I oil cleanse before I go in, second cleanse in the shower after washing out my hair conditioner (I heard conditioner can be pore clogging), then I do the rest of my routine when I am done in the shower.
