Skincare Quiz: Why Twice-Daily Cleansing Makes All the Difference

Ever wondered if your cleansing routine is really working for you? The truth is, the foundation of any effective skincare ritual is a simple yet powerful habit: cleansing your skin twice a day. Cleansing not only removes impurities, but also sets the stage for serums and creams to work at their best.
We’ve created a skincare quiz to help you reflect on your cleansing habits and discover what type of routine suits you. Along the way, you’ll learn why twice-daily cleansing is the cornerstone of radiant, balanced skin. At Klara Skincare, all of our products are handmade in the UK, produced in small batches, cruelty free, and combine nature’s finest ingredients with advanced delivery technology to give your skin what it deserves.

Why a Skincare Routine Matters
A good routine isn’t about filling your bathroom shelf with countless products. It’s about consistency and choosing formulations that complement each other. A structured approach brings several benefits:
-
Hydration: Locking in moisture prevents dryness and discomfort.
-
Absorption: Cleansing first ensures active ingredients penetrate effectively.
-
Anti-ageing support: Regular application of collagen, peptides and antioxidants strengthens the skin barrier.
At Klara Skincare, our philosophy is “discovered by nature and enhanced by science.” We use naturally sourced botanicals like cucumber, green tea, and aloe vera, combined with proven actives such as niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, to deliver products that are kind yet powerful.
The Importance of Cleansing

Cleansing is the essential first step in skincare. Without it, every product applied afterwards is working harder against invisible barriers.
Why cleanse twice daily?
-
Morning cleanse: Removes sebum and overnight product build-up, leaving your skin fresh for serums and day cream.
-
Evening cleanse: Clears away SPF, makeup, sweat, and pollution that accumulate throughout the day.

The Skincare Quiz
Now it’s time to find out how your cleansing routine measures up. Answer these questions and see which type of skincare profile you fall into.
Question 1: How often do you cleanse each day?
-
Once: You’re cleansing, but your skin may not be fully free of impurities. Consider adding a morning cleanse to refresh your skin and prepare it for the day ahead.
-
Twice: Excellent — you are giving your skin the best care by keeping it clean both morning and evening.
-
Occasionally: Your skin may be at risk of clogged pores and dullness. Start with a gentle cleanser once a day, and build up to twice-daily cleansing for healthier results.
Question 2: Which type of cleanser do you prefer?
-
Cream: Ideal for sensitive, dry, or mature skin. Try our Cream Cleanser for a soothing but effective cleanse.
-
Micellar: Perfect for quick and easy makeup or SPF removal. Our Micellar Toner Cleanser is gentle enough for daily use.
-
Other: If you already use gels or oils, you may still benefit from alternating with a cream or micellar cleanser, depending on your skin’s needs.
Question 3: Do you apply makeup or SPF daily?
-
Yes: Evening cleansing is essential. Double cleansing (micellar followed by cream cleanser) is recommended.
-
No: You may not need a double cleanse every night, but twice-daily cleansing still supports clear, balanced skin.
Question 4: How would you describe your skin type?
-
Dry: Cream cleansers help lock in moisture and prevent tightness.
-
Oily: A micellar toner can reduce excess oil and balance skin tone.
-
Combination: Alternating between a cream cleanser and micellar water may give you the best of both.
-
Sensitive: Stick with gentle, fragrance-free options such as our Cream Cleanser.
Question 5: What is your main skincare goal?
-
Hydration: Follow cleansing with a hydrating serum and day or night cream.
-
Anti-ageing: Clean skin allows peptides and collagen to penetrate more effectively.
-
Brightening: Twice-daily cleansing removes dullness, while vitamin C serums enhance radiance.
-
Soothing: Aloe vera, cucumber, and green tea are calming additions to your routine.
