Knowing how to wash your face and how often you should wash your face, is probably one of the best ways that anyone can go about preventing future acne breakouts.

The problem is, a lot of people end up overwashing their face, which makes their acne worse.

So, how often should you really wash your face?

Face Washing Guidelines

You should only wash your face two times a day.

If you shower in the morning, that would be time #1.

Time #2 would fall at night, just before bed.

Now, don't be tempted to wash your face a 3rd of 4th time if you do some sort of sporting activity in the day. Instead, simply pat your face dry of your sweat, and move on with your day.

Washing your face more than 2 times a day can cause dryness, irritation, sensitivity, and overall, it can make your acne worse.

How many times a day should I wash my face?

2 Total times a day!

is it safe to wash our face with proactiv deep cleansing wash?

It's not one of my favorites. I personally prefer Proactiv's regular cleanser found in the original 3-step-system.

I'm sorry. I'm not sure. I'll have to do more research on the topic before answer that question.

i have a question i have a lot of scars because of my acne.. does proactiv also work for scars??

Eyden said...

Proactiv will NOT get rid of your acne scars. It will keep your acne away and prevent future scars, however.

I wash with Neutragena Oil-Free Acne wash (its blue) in the morning, then Neutrogena Oil Free Face Wash (grapefruit kind) when I take a shower. Is that okay or should I not switch throughout the day? My acne ranges from really bad some days to really good others.
