Guys...
Somewhere i have read that excess of washing face can cause acne problem...is it true..??
share your opinion with me...

some people produce more oil on there face then others

washing those oils off constantly will have the effect of more oil more offend and

harder acne to get rid of.
Not saying washing your face is bad because by far it is not anything close to that. it's very good once or twice a day.... not four or five times *haha*

wipes, Noxzema, mint julep mask, Saint Ives black head scrub.
these are gent and very good produces i would recommend to anyone with acne problems

don't for that what you eat effect how your face looks as well there are also food you can eat to help clear up your face.

Being acne prone is more a function of genetics. While washing your face too often may irritate already sensitive and acne prone skin, I don't think it is an actual cause of acne. If you find your face washing routine to be irritating, switch to a soap-free cleanser with no additives. Cetaphil is a great one, it is very gentle. You might also try an all-natural product (I like the Blue Green Algae cleanser and moisturizer from Aubrey Organics.

I have suffered from acne since I was in 6th grade and have tried every single wash, scrub, ointment, treatment, drug, antibiotic on the market - OTC and prescription. Not all acne is the same; if it is a persistent problem you'd be best off seeing a dermatologist.

I have always tried to keep my face clean because I have dry skin so it gets flakey and my skin is also very sensitive (shaving is painful lol).

I never had acne really, I'd get the occasional zit and stuff. But one think I noticed is no matter how much I washed, my nose has always been covered in black head looking things. I try and try but cannot get rid of them. I cleanse them, pop them....everything. Its genetics for sure!

Being Italian I seem very oily and sweaty in my face (probably some joke here somewhere lol). I use skin moisterizer.

Washing your face 2 or 3 times will keep your skin clean and dry...I like to clean my face several times a day..it keeps my face fresh and free from oil and usually i never got acne...so i think washing your face frequently does not produce acne on your face..

Yes, this is true. It's best not to be too harsh with your face.
I suggest you use a gentle soap or facial wash. These include Purpose face wash or Dove fragrance free/sensitive skin soap.
Simple is best.

One should wash the face 2-3 times a day and not 20-30 times a day as it will make the face loose its essential oils and lead to skin dryness and may be acne.Always use a face wash to wash your face
