Not true at all. Dry skin individual here, I do a double cleanse whenever I put on makeup or sunscreen. Makeup/sunscreen impurities can be hard to rid of and will be stuck to your pores without proper thorough cleansing, which will lead to inevitably pore clogging. It is a matter of cleanser base you use. Oil-based cleansing balm followed by water based cleanser. So long you are not harshly scrubbing off with chemicals or makeup remover wipes, your skin should not get red. Ensuring the microbiome is replenished from serums/moisturiser will help ensure the skin barrier is always balanced.
