cleansing 3 times a day?

I sometimes get really sweaty at work, as I'm not always working in an air conditioned place. I want to get the sweat and oil off as soon as I get home, but I still want to do my normal night time routine before bed. Does that situation call for an extra cleanse, or should I just use water on my face when I get home to get rid of some of that sweat? I don't want to overclease and strip my skin.

I suggest just splashing your face with water. Cleansing 3x a day sounds excessive and might just strip your face of it's natural oils. You want to make sure not to overdo it as drying out your face in that way can cause issues

personally, when I'm all sweaty after a workout, I dont use soap when I wash my face, just cold water. since you'll be cleansing later, it's okay if you dont use soap, water is good enough to wash away the sweat

Twice a day is just the max, if u do washes in between just splash water on your face, otherwise, you'll be over-cleansing your face!!

I would advise just slashing water and wait to properly cleanse in your PM routine later. Although you’re sweaty and oily, you don’t want to disrupt your skin’s natural moisture and oil barrier by cleansing more than twice a day. Twice a day is the better way‼️💯✨✨✨

You can wash your face 3 times if you must but be sure to at least add moisturizer after to ensure you don't irritate your skin..
