So according to accomplished NYC dermatologist Ellen Marmur, for people with extremely dry/sensitive skin, cleansing twice a day is not only unnecessary but could worsen your skin's condition. Since washing the face rids the skin of oils (which dry and sensitive skin need) she recommends cleansing only at night to wash away dirt, debris, and makeup. Then in the morning awaken your face with a warm washcloth then a splash of cold water. The splash of cold water is the best way to quickly brighten your complexion and make pores appear smaller, because cold water is a vasocontrictor (closes blood vessels). So far I have been following Dr. Marmur's advice and have noticed that when it comes to skin care less really is more!
